Summary

User encounters a 500 error when sending a multipart/form-data request via Airbyte, while the same request succeeds in Postman. The issue may relate to how the boundary is handled in the request.


Question

When attempting to send a request via Airbyte using Content-Type: multipart/form-data, an error occurs. However, the same API request executed from Postman with the header Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=<calculated when request is sent> completes successfully without any errors. What could be causing this discrepancy?"

      {
        "message": "Unexpected error has occurred. Contact technical support team for assistance.",
        "type": "unspecified",
        "code": 500
      }
    ]```
