Why is parts empty?

[cawoodm]

var multipart = require('parse-multipart');
let boundary = "abcde12345"
let body = `--abcde12345\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="id"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\nfoo\r\n--abcde12345--`
var parts = multipart.Parse(body, boundary);
console.log(parts);

Why is parts empty?

Tried with extra newline before foo:

var multipart = require('parse-multipart');
let boundary = "abcde12345"
let body = `--abcde12345\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="id"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\nfoo\r\n--abcde12345--\r\n`
var parts = multipart.Parse(body, boundary);
console.log(parts);

Still empty.

The request body is:

--abcde12345
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="id"
Content-Type: text/plain

foo
--abcde12345--

Did somebody find the solution?

Also saw this, there's this #20, and this: #15 which was closed.

I suspect people might not be using /r/n for newlines.

I was trying:

    let body = `------WebKitFormBoundaryDtbT5UpPj83kllfw
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="uploads[]"; filename="sometext.txt"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

hello how are you
------WebKitFormBoundaryDtbT5UpPj83kllfw--`;

    const formData = multipart.Parse(Buffer.from(body), "----WebKitFormBoundaryDtbT5UpPj83kllfw");
    console.log(`Form data: ${formData.length} ${JSON.stringify(formData)}`);

But this needed to explicitly use \r\n, so works with:

    // Setup
    let body = `------WebKitFormBoundaryDtbT5UpPj83kllfw\r\n`;
    body += `Content-Disposition: form-data; name="uploads[]"; filename="sometext.txt"\r\n`;
    body += `Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n`;
    body += `\r\n`;
    body += `hello how are you\r\n`;
    body += `------WebKitFormBoundaryDtbT5UpPj83kllfw--`;

    const formData = multipart.Parse(Buffer.from(body), "----WebKitFormBoundaryDtbT5UpPj83kllfw");
    console.log(`Form data: ${formData.length} ${JSON.stringify(formData)}`);
