Question

I am using Apache HttpClient to upload a file through MultipartEntity, I need to upload the file with different filename.. Below is my code…

FileBody uploadFilePart = new FileBody(binaryFile);
MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
reqEntity.addPart("bin", uploadFilePart);
reqEntity.addPart("comment", comment);
httpPost.setEntity(reqEntity);

HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();

System.out.println("----------------------------------------");
System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());
if (resEntity != null) {
    System.out.println("Response content length: " +
                       resEntity.getContentLength());
}
EntityUtils.consume(resEntity);

Help Appreciated!

Thanks,

You can set file name with the following FileBody constructor.

public FileBody(File file,
                String filename,
                String mimeType,
                String charset)
