Hi @whomata120! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the dify team.

This is a known regression in Dify v1.7.2: the HTTP Request node can emit malformed multipart/form-data bodies with an extra empty part (name=''), causing missing boundary errors and 400 responses from servers like ASP.NET Core. The root cause is a bug in multipart encoding that appeared after the upgrade [source].

This has been fixed in recent updates: two merged pull requests (#23008 and #23903) ensure the HTTP client library (httpx) now handles Content-Type and boundary generation automatically, and filters out empty field names to prevent malformed requests. These fixes are included in the latest codebase after v1.7.2.

To resolve the issue, upgrade your Dify Docker deployment to the latest version. If you can't upgrade right away, you can roll back to v1.7.1, switch to application/json payloads if possible, or avoid empty form fields in your requests [source].

Manual setting of the Content-Type header for multipart/form-data is no longer recommended—let Dify and the HTTP client handle it to ensure the boundary is set correctly [source].

To reply, just mention @dosu.
