I am using arduino HTTPClient to do the post request in ESP32. Can anyone help me with the part where I will be able to post an image file along with some data.

The below code works perfectly fine with only sending user_name and image_type-

#include <HTTPClient.h>

http.begin("https://www.somelink.com/post-image");


http.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");


String httpRequestData = "user_name=Shidhartha&image_type=Outdoor";


int httpResponseCode = http.POST(httpRequestData);
if(httpResponseCode > 0){
  String response = http.getString();
  Serial.println(response);
}else{
  Serial.print("Error on sending POST: ");
  Serial.println(httpResponseCode);
}

Below is the perfectly working code I got from here.

String serverName = "192.168.1.XXX";   // REPLACE WITH YOUR Raspberry Pi IP ADDRESS
//String serverName = "example.com";   // OR REPLACE WITH YOUR DOMAIN NAME


String serverPath = "/upload.php";     // The default serverPath should be upload.php


const int serverPort = 80;


WiFiClient client;
