How to get path and filename from postman request body using Go-CodePudding

This question already asked but it is not solve my issue.

In my Go project am not able to print path and filename. It is showing some error like below:

2021/10/13 16:25:07 http: panic serving [::1]:60170: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference goroutine 6 [running]:

My Postman collection

my code

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"

    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
)

func encodeFfmpeg(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data")
    _, header, _ := r.FormFile("video")
    fmt.Println(header.Filename)
}

func main() {
    router := mux.NewRouter()

    router.HandleFunc("/encode", encodeFfmpeg).Methods("POST")

    // config port
    fmt.Printf("Starting server at 8080 \n")
    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router)
}

Am trying to print filename with path eg: /home/ramesh/videos/video.mp4

CodePudding user response：

The sent request is missing the boundary parameter in the Content-Type header. This parameter is required for multipart/form-data to work properly.

In Postman remove the explicit Content-Type header setting and leave it to Postman to automatically set the header with the boundary parameter.

Last but not least, do not ignore errors.
