I get this error:

Error: Malformed part header

when making multipart/form-data request in Node.js - no code files visible in the error.

I'm encountering a "Malformed part header" error when trying to upload two files one video and another thumbnail in cloudinary I am certain that the file sizes of both does not exceed 100mb for free tier. The full error message from my console is:

Error: Malformed part header

Interestingly, the error stack trace doesn't seem to point to any of my own project files. All the paths in the stack trace lead to files within the node_modules directory, specifically related to busboy.

Here's a link to my GitHub repository -> link

-> Is it caused by Postman? Because I tried using bruno, and encountered the same error

-> Any good alternative of the code to upload to cloudinary?

  • It could be that somewhere along the way the characters need to be from some restricted set. If you want to make your program reliable in that respect, you would need to investigate which characters are allowed and remove any that don't match. Commented May 4 at 10:16
  • how do i do that the error is in the busboy folder must be the part of the multer, and i am learning right now this is my project for learning the backend. but thanks for the reply I appreciate it! Commented May 4 at 14:46
