Multipart Form File Upload Issues on Replit
File upload fails with 400 Bad Request or files aren't received. Multipart form handling has issues.
Multipart form configuration and size limits require proper setup.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- File size exceeds max upload limit
- Form content-type not multipart/form-data
- @RequestParam name doesn't match form field
- Multipart request not enabled in config
- Memory limit exceeded for large files
How to Fix It
Set spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size=10MB and max-request-size=10MB in application.yml. Use @RequestParam("fileField") MultipartFile file. Set @RequestMapping(consumes = MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_VALUE). For large files, stream to disk instead of memory. Check client sends correct content-type header.
