Content-Disposition Name

I was wondering if there was any way to remove the quoatation from name of the content-disposition when doing a multipart file upload. the api i am connecting to only accesss the name without quotations. 

 

Expeted:

--e1fbdde9-d4d1-4038-b7a6-47c535b390fd

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Content-Disposition: form-data; name=fileType

 

SoapUI:

------=_Part_0_41673494.1447705176576
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fileType"

    So, you need to remove the double quotes covering the name attribute. There are several ways to do this,

    1) If you are Pro (Ready! API) users, you can capture the formatted request through SoapUI's event listeners and edit the request through Groovy Script. Don't worry if you are an open source users! There is a workaround to do the same using the method mentioned by nmrao in the thread - http://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/How-to-add-addtional-HTTP-header-to-all-the-Rest-Requests/m-p/108768#U108768

    2) [EASY WAY] Track the request sent by SoapUI using any of the HTTP debugger tools like Fiddler, Burp Suite, HTTP Watch etc and recompose the request by removing the quotes covering name attribute.

     

    Hope this helps!

      Just a comment regarding #2. That works only for manually testing using soapUI. Does not be of help for automated testing.

        nmrao: The name header would be an auto generated in SoapUI when we pass corresponding value in any multipart attachments. Yes! I agree the method #2 would not give helping hand while automation, but if the user prefers Fiddler, there is a light of possibility through their scripting method to to do a partial automation.

    Just curious if the header is being added automatically or do you add it to the request? You may also try adding manually with desired value for the header.
