Hello Team,

We are working on Externalization of API’s through Cloudflare( WAF and Managed rules). While Verifying the API Swagger file through ApiShield, we are facing errors for a block in swagger file.

requestBody:
content:
multipart/form-data:
schema:
type: object
properties:

‘file’ will be the field name in this multipart request

file:
type: string
format: binary
responses:
‘200’:
description: successful.

I received the response from support team.

Hi Tushar,

Thanks for contacting Cloudflare Enterprise Support. My name is Samuel and I will be looking into this ticket for you.
I’m sorry to read that you’re experiencing difficulties.

If I understand your enquiry correctly, it does appear that we do not support multipart/form-data directly.

only the following request body media ranges are supported:

*/*
application/*
application/json

Also, if your Swagger file contain a response phase, it is expected that we through an error because it is a known limitation of API Shield at this stage.
