Binary, Multipart, and Raw Payload Handling

Examples demonstrating different payload types for various testing scenarios.

1. Binary Payload Example

name: BinaryPayloadExample
rounds:
- name: BinaryPayloadRound
  numberOfClients: 5
  arrivalDelay: 3000
  iterations:
  - name: BinaryPayloadIteration
    httpRequest:
      url: https://echo.free.beeceptor.com 
      headers:
        content-type: application/pdf
      httpMethod: PUT
      payload:
        file: img001.pdf
      saveResponse: true
    mode: R
    requestCount: 1

Purpose: Sends a binary file as the payload. The content type is automatically detected based on the file.

2. Multipart Payload Example

name: MultipartPayloadExample
rounds:
- name: MultipartPayloadRound
  numberOfClients: 5
  arrivalDelay: 3000
  iterations:
  - name: MultipartPayloadIteration
    httpRequest:
      url: https://echo.free.beeceptor.com 
      httpMethod: POST
      saveResponse: true
      payload:
        multipart:
          fields:
            - name: field1
              value: "sample value"
              contentType: text/plain
            - name: field2
              value: "another value"
              contentType: application/json
          files:
            - name: file1
              path: img001.pdf
              contentType: application/pdf
            - name: file2
              path: img002.pdf
              contentType: application/pdf
    mode: R
    requestCount: 1

Purpose: Demonstrates how to send multipart payloads with both text fields and files.

3. Raw Payload Example

name: RawPayloadExample
rounds:
- name: RawPayloadRound
  numberOfClients: 5
  arrivalDelay: 3000
  iterations:
  - name: RawPayloadIteration
    httpRequest:
      url: https://echo.free.beeceptor.com 
      httpMethod: POST
      payload:
        type: Raw
        raw: |
          {
            "key1": "value1",
            "key2": "value2",
            "nested": {
              "key3": "value3"
            }
          }
    mode: R
    requestCount: 1

Purpose: Sends raw JSON data in the request payload. This is useful for API endpoints requiring structured payloads like JSON or XML.
