No way to pass query-string params when using postMulti?

[sam]

The following curl command works fine against my API:

curl -vvvv -X PUT \
"http://localhost:9001/api/v1/events/one/mailers/jYCd?token=bob&rev=1173-eb559d86d2a58000aca5dc87760a1c9a" \
-F "document=@update-mailer.json" \
-F "banner=@sample.jpg"

Unfortunately I can't seem to build such a request with scalaj-http. When using .postMulti all .param calls (before and after the .postMulti; doesn't matter) add form fields instead of query-string parameters.

I've even tried "hard coding" the query-string into my URL:

protected[this] def request(path: String*): HttpRequest =
    Http(path.foldLeft(api.uri) { case (acc, segment) => acc / segment } toString())
      .param("token", api.token)

request("events", eventKey.id, "mailers", update.key.id, s"?token=bob&rev=${eventKey.rev}")
  .postMulti(
    MultiPart("document", "mailer.json", "application/json", write(update).getBytes("utf-8")),
    MultiPart("banner", "banner.jpg", mediaType.toString(), new FileInputStream(file), file.length(), _ => ()))
  .param("rev", eventKey.rev)
  .method("PUT")
  .asString

No luck. It strips the query-string from the URL.

Any way around this issue?

For posterity, I got around it by adding .copy(urlBuilder = QueryStringUrlFunc) to my request after the .postMulti(...).

I'll leave if this open in case you think there's something nicer that could be done.

Hey @sam , that seems like a decent workaround. Appending the params to the url should work too though. The Http library doesn't strip query string params, but maybe the URI library you're using does?
