Ability to specify body content

[PanayotCankov]

The upload is intended to work with big files and uses APIs in iOS that allow background upload. However they use the file as body for the request. To allow multipart/form-data uploads we will have to save temporary file with the form fields. Can't you encode these in the URL or the headers?

It may sound stupid but I'm not entirely sure how to do so. I am trying to mimic a HTML form upload but via. Nativescript. I need to pass in parameters such as an upload id along with the file that I'm uploading so my server knows where to store the uploaded file.

I used the old way of passing params

//https://www.example.com?var1=var1&var2=var2

var request = {
        url: "https://www.example.com?var1=var1&var2=var2",
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/octet-stream",
            "photo": "image.jpg"
        },
        description: description
    };
