Edit Question
Title
Body
In HTTP there are two ways to POST data: application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data . I understand that most browsers are only able to upload files if multipart/form-data is used. Is there any additional guidance when to use one of the encoding types in an API context (no browser involved)? This might e.g. be based on: data size existence of non-ASCII characters existence on (unencoded) binary data the need to transfer additional data (like filename) I basically found no formal guidance on the web regarding the use of the different content-types so far.
