When setting up a Multi-step API monitor, you can specify a payload (data being sent) as part of a request definition. Before, Uptrends only supported sending one type of content at the same time, even though the HTTP protocol does allow multiple parts to be sent. For example, sending some raw text as well as a binary file as part of a single API call.
With the new Multi-part form option, you can now include multiple types of content in the request body of your MSA steps. This option automatically sets the Content-Type
request header to multipart/form-data
and lets you specify multiple contents in different types. These types can be plain texts entries or files retrieved from the
