Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

When you select request body content type, there is no option for raw data.

This option should be similar to multipart/form-data. but instead of accepting multiple name/value pairs, it should have just a single file upload field. This data would then be sent in the body just as it is.

Why should this be worked on?

PHP does not have support for multipart/form-data for POST, PATCH, etc (as they think it's against HTTP specs).

Instead, they recommend sending the files as a raw stream of data:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.put-method.php

Unfortunately, Hoppschotch does not support this method.

This simple feature would be a great addition to Hoppschotch. :)

I also agree with that request, on Next.js if you want the send request with body content your body must be RAW.

DTO;

export class Detail {
    @IsString()
    @IsNotEmpty()
    challenge: string;
}

Controller;

  @Get(`detail`)
  detail(@Body() detail: Detail) {
    return this.service.detail(detail);
  }

Postman supports that feature, but postwoman doesn't :)
