Wizfi360 "AT+CIPSEND" for POST request (multipart/form-data)

Question

I need to send a file to Telegram chat wth a bot. It works fine if only to send short files. What i am doing - I establish SSL connection to server, then make AT+CIPSEND=2048 (max number) and then send multipart/form-data structure . This structure has head, file itself and tail with its place priority . If the size of (head+ file+tail) is no more then 2048 it gets a good answer from the server and i get a message in my Telegram group with the file. But what If I need to send a longer file then 2048 bytes - how to escape limitation of 2048 bytes? I tried this construction AT+CIPSEND=2048 > sending…bytes of (head + part1 of file) SEND OK, then another AT+CIPSEND=M bytes > sending… M bytes of (part2 of file + tail) SEND OK. And then nothing happens, only after some time i get these answers ““504 Gateway Time-out”” for the first sending and " 400 Bad Request" for the second sending. It looks like the server does not take these 2 sendings as a whole message and does not react adequately. Please let me know what i am doing wrong with CIPSEND command? How to solve this prblem? Thank you.

Hello, Well, you are not doing anything wrong with CIPSEND, it has a limit of 2048. I don’t know well about Telegram server, but have you tried transparent mode transmission?

When you set length as parameter to CIPSEND then WIzFi360 sends in normal mode, not transparent. If you send AT+CIPSEND without any parameter, then WizFi360 will enter transparent transmission mode and will transfer everything unless you send “+++” as single packet.
