Allow to send empty file fields about guzzle HOT 6 CLOSED

Still can not send empty file fields

from guzzle.

I tested out sending empty files with curl and it caused an error because curl tries to open an empty file. You can send empty post fields but sending empty files is not possible. I don't see the point of sending empty files either. I don't want to write a custom multipart upload entity body, so for now, this is not something I'm going to address. I would suggest opening a bug report on the site you are testing to let them know that sending empty post files is not possible with a lot of HTTP clients.

Did you tried with the solution I pointed on the previous link (using /dev/null)?

That wont work on windows. Can you just set that yourself when you need to upload empty files?

I was trying with NUL on Windows but it send something and I need to pass this:

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="picture"; filename=""
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

And also receive this on $_FILES

[0] =>
    [name] => 
    [type] => 
    [tmp_name] => 
    [error] => 4
    [size] => 0

This is what a normal browser does with empty file fields. How can I do this by myself using Guzzle?

Try building the post body manually using something like Zend/Mime. Then use the setBody() method on the POST request, but be sure to specify the appropriate content-type.
