Upload collection of files error "could not store directory"
When uploading collection of files via this API point https://docs.ethswarm.org/api/#tag/BZZ/paths/~1bzz/post
got this 500 error could not store directory
it seems that it's due to Content-Length required by Bee in each part of the multipart/form-data. That behaviour is not conformant to RFC1867 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1867
So API calls are not working with native browser fetch and FormData , and there exists no easy way to add Content-Length this way.
Below is the example :
- with
Content-Length: 3works and retrieve a good reference - with any other
Content-Lengthit also works with same reference - without
Content-Lengthit fails , whereas it's RFC1867 conformant
Example
POST http://127.0.0.1:1633/bzz
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=YTJHJHG465HFG
Swarm-Postage-Batch-Id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
--YTJHJHG465HFG
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="noname";
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 3
BZZ
--YTJHJHG465HFG--
response with any Content-Length

}
response without Content-Length
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Seems this issue should be on bee rather than beeJs, sorry ;-(
anyway same issue than https://github.com/ethersphere/bee/issues/1882
