I created a simple API in Lumen (application A) which:
public function apiMethod(ServerRequestInterface $psrRequest)
{
$url = $this->getUri();
$psrRequest = $psrRequest->withUri($url);
$response = $this->httpClient->send($psrRequest);
return response($response->getBody(), $response->getStatusCode(), $response->getHeaders());
}
The above code passes data to the application B for the query params, x-www-form-urlencoded, or JSON content type. However, it fails to pass the multipart/form-data. (The file is available in the application A: $psrRequest->getUploadedFiles()
).
Edit 1
I tried replacing the Guzzle invocation with the Buzz
$psr18Client = new Browser(new Curl(new Psr17Factory()), new Psr17Factory());
$response = $psr18Client->sendRequest($psrRequest);
but still, it does not make a difference.
Edit 2
Instances of ServerRequestInterface represent a request on the server-side. Guzzle and Buzz are using an instance of RequestInterface to send data. The RequestInterface is missing abstraction over uploaded files. So files should be added manually http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/request-options.html#multipart
$options = [];
/** @var UploadedFileInterface $uploadedFile */
foreach ($psrRequest->getUploadedFiles() as $uploadedFile) {
$options['multipart'][] = [
'name' => 'file',
'fileName' => $uploadedFile->getClientFilename(),
'contents' => $uploadedFile->getStream()->getContents()
];
}
$response = $this->httpClient->send($psrRequest, $options);
But still no luck with that.
What I am missing? How to change the request so files will be sent properly?
It seems that $options['multipart'] is taken into account when using post method from guzzle. So changing the code to the $response = $this->httpClient->post($psrRequest->getUri(), $options);
solves the problem.
Also, it is important not to attach 'content-type header.
