We will see how an application/x-www-form-urlencoded based form-data content type is configured to invoke an external service using HTTP requestor node in Kumologica.

Form-data content is a pretty popular form of the content type used in HTTP-based endpoints or APIs. In this article we will be specifically seeing how an application/x-www-form-urlencodedbased form-data content type is configured to invoke an external service using HTTP requestor node in Kumologica.

There are two popular form-data content types used in enterprises.

1. application/x-www-form-urlencoded

The application/x-www-form-urlencoded content-type describes form data that is sent in a single block in the HTTP message body.

2. multipart/form-data

This content type is inefficient for sending large binary data or text containing non-ASCII characters and does not allow you to upload files. For these purposes, we can send data as multipart/form-data

Posting Form Data in Kumologica

In order to post form-data content, we will be using the HTTP requestor node in Kumologica. We will be invoking the following endpoint for this demo.  http://httpbin.org/anything.

The above endpoint will respond with all the data that has been sent to the server. This includes the header, payload, form data, attachments, etc. Using this endpoint we will know whether the form data posted from Kumologica flow was received by the server or not.
