Kendo Upload - how to set the content-type to post

[Simon]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Upload control with a an asp.net core web api backend.

My server code is expecting to receive a file with a content-type of 'multipart/form-data', the Upload control is sending it as 'application/json'. Is there a way I can set the content-type of the posted file?

I tried setting the content-type in the UploadEvent (https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/upload/api/UploadEvent/) 

 

uploadEventHandler(e: UploadEvent) {
    e.headers.set('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data')
 }

but it was ignored.

Hi Simon,

When uploading a file, the Upload component sends an HttpRequest of type FormData and the content type of the request is automatically set to 'multipart/form-data'. It is not needed to manually set it as part of the request headers.

Hello Dimiter Madjarov,

       I want to set content type as this 'Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'

beforeSend={(xhr) => {xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8' )}}

saveHeaders={{'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8' }}


I tried in bot the ways, but no luck.

Thanks. It was my mistake. I had an interceptor stepping in and setting the content-type to 'application/json' on all http actions. Oops!
