HTTMultiParty supports file uploads by posting a multipart MIME document. It wraps HTTParty so you use it in the same way. For the file, just supply a File object. Example from the README:

require 'httmultiparty'
class SomeClient
  include HTTMultiParty
  base_uri 'http://localhost:3000'
end

response = SomeClient.post('/', :query => {
  :foo      => 'bar',
  :somefile => File.new('README.md')
})

By using the RestClient gem we can easily handle the file uploads, but make sure that you install the rest-client gem.

And I have also attached screen shot of example request from postman.

And the code in controller as like below,

  res = RestClient::Request.execute(
      method: :post,
      url: "http://www.your_url.com",
      payload: params,

      headers: {
          'Content-Type' => "multipart/form-data",
          Authorization: "some_key",
          :Accept => "*/*"
      }

  )

HTTParty does not appear to support file uploads (as least as of 2009):

Google groups where some people say it's not supported: http://groups.google.com/group/httparty-gem/browse_thread/thread/fe8a3af8c46e7c75

Open Issue concerning it: https://github.com/jnunemaker/httparty/issues/77

Here is the multipart example from HTTParty:

# If you are uploading file in params, multipart will used as content-type automatically

HTTParty.post(
  'http://localhost:3000/user',
  body: {
    name: 'Foo Bar',
    email: 'example@email.com',
    avatar: File.open('/full/path/to/avatar.jpg')
  }
)

Now, you can access the uploaded file in the controller as follows:

uploaded_io = params[:avatar]
File.open(Rails.root.join('public', 'uploads', uploaded_io.original_filename), 'wb') do |file|
  file.write(uploaded_io.read)
end
