Posting forms is not working

posting forms is not working

example:

POST http://localhost:8080/upload

-F "uploads=@/home/user/my_file.md"

{}

this is translated to the following curl command using RestNvimPreview (which works): curl -sSL --compressed -X 'POST' -F "uploads=@/home/user/my_file.md" 'http://localhost:8080/upload'

but running it using RestNvim returns this error

Error executing luv callback:
...site/pack/packer/start/plenary.nvim/lua/plenary/curl.lua:260: post http://localhost:8080/upload - curl error exit_code=26 stderr={ "curl: (26) Failed to open/read local data from file/application" }
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'error'
	...site/pack/packer/start/plenary.nvim/lua/plenary/curl.lua:260: in function '_user_on_exit'

	.../site/pack/packer/start/plenary.nvim/lua/plenary/job.lua:46: in function <.../site/pack/packer/start/plenary.nvim/lua/plenary/job.lua:37>

taking a look at the table that is being sent to plenary's curl.lua I found this

{
  body = vim.empty_dict(),
  bufnr = 1,
  callback = <function 1>,
  dry_run = false,
  end_line = 16,
  headers = {},
  method = "post",
  raw = { '-F "uploads=@/home/kanon/my_file.md"' },
  start_line = 11,
  url = "http://localhost:8080/upload"
}

the option is being sent in the raw key, but plenary also has the option of receiving a form key, so I'm guessing sending it there would help?

just tested my theory adding this line to the bottom of the M.curl_cmd function and it worked

opts.form = { uploads = "@/home/kanon/my_file.md" }

so it looks like this:

opts.callback = vim.schedule_wrap(create_callback(opts.method, opts.
opts.form = { uploads = "@/home/kanon/my_file.md" }
curl[opts.method](opts)

Closing this due to v3 release of both rest.nvim and tree-sitter-http. Now http parser supports form data, and rest.nvim supports form-urlencoded

multipart-form-data will be supported later with RFC standard.
