Describe the bug
Import curl with the Copy as Curl result on browser network tab doesn't really work.

Broken cURL flags:

--data-raw
--url
Importing x-www-form-urlencoded
Importing multipart/form-data

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Make a request on the browser from your application, POST/PUT request, must had data
Copy the request from browser network pane as Curl
Go to postwoman
Import form curl, the request section are empty

my curl example

curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/crm/brand/4' -X PUT -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*' -H 'Accept-Language: en' --compressed -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOjEsImlzcyI6Imh0dHA6Ly9pcmlzLmxvY2FsL2FwaS9hZG1pbi9sb2dpbiIsImlhdCI6MTU2ODIwMjU3OSwiZXhwIjoxNTY4MjA2MTc5LCJuYmYiOjE1NjgyMDI1NzksImp0aSI6IkphUXk1cTFSa0NMeXJyam4ifQ.OoTNsJmERVAozUaWm4K9TRevZHuw1kC6QpWdth0pN2A' -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8' -H 'Origin: http://localhost:3012' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Referer: http://localhost:3012/crm/company/4' --data-raw '{"id":4,"crm_company_id":4,"industry_primary_id":2,"industry_head_id":2,"industry_body_id":2,"code":"01","barcode":"222010101","summary":"Healt-Seasoning-Basic-Hori-Kello","name":"Kellolaa","sub_code":"01","sub_name":"Hori","created_at":"2020-06-08 08:50:02","updated_at":"2020-06-08 08:50:02","company":4,"primary":{"id":2,"code":"2","name":"Healt","created_at":"2020-05-19 07:05:02","updated_at":"2020-05-19 07:09:28"},"head":{"id":2,"code":"2","name":"Seasoning","created_at":"2020-04-14 19:34:33","updated_at":"2020-04-14 19:34:33"},"body":{"id":2,"code":"2","name":"Basic","created_at":"2020-04-14 19:33:54","updated_at":"2020-04-14 19:33:54"},"contacts":[]}'

Expected behavior
Able import curl from browser pane, the file doesn't matter if it form-url-encoded with file, just make the file null

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Ubuntu Latest
Browser Firefox
Version Latest

Additional context
I stated the problem in other API-testing too, take a look here and here

I just came across with this issue. Populating headers from the cURL query works, but not the body payload.

In the below cURL POST HTTP request with content type multipart/form-data the two parameters EmailAddress and Entity of the body payload aren't parsed from the cURL query. And changing --data-raw to --data doesn't fix the issue:

Hi @nilay1221, thanks for having a look at this issue.

Did you try to import my cURL command into Hoppscotch and see whether the body parameters were populated?
