The request from the browser is as above, and my backend Jython needs to run DocumentManagement.uploadFile(self, fileName, fileSize, fileBytes), that is, to get these data, but I don't know how to properly handle multipart/form- data requests

When I print request[‘data’] it comes up with an array of binary codes

Unfortunately, there's no easy solution to parse incoming multipart data in Webdev - you basically have to do it yourself:

It uses “multipart/form-data” content type, and I am having difficulties figuring out how to parse the data so I can decipher the exact nature of the alert. Does anyone know how I can decode “multipart/form-data” so I can decipher the alert message from the printer? I have tried a few different ways without success. I may be missing something obvious.
