🐛 Bug: FormData is empty and request fails with HTTP 412 in v3 when using SetFiles()

🔁 Versions Tested
• Resty v2 (latest stable): ✅ Works
• Resty v3.0.0-beta.4: ❌ Fails with 412 Precondition Failed

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/go-resty/resty/v2" // or v3
)

func main() {
	client := resty.New()

	addr := "https://api.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/media/uploadimg?access_token=xxx"

	resp, err := client.R().
		SetFiles(map[string]string{
			"media": "./media.jpg",
		}).
		Post(addr)

	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("error:", err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println("formData:", resp.Request.FormData)
	fmt.Println("statusCode", resp.StatusCode())
}

✅ Output (v2):
formData: map[@media:[./media.jpg]]
statusCode: 200

❌ Output (v3.0.0-beta.3)
formData: map[]
statusCode: 412

Please verify multipart handling and ensure SetFiles() behaves consistently between versions.

Let me know if a reproducible curl or raw HTTP comparison is needed — I can provide it.

Thanks!

Due to this issue, our production system experienced unexpected failures when using resty v3. The affected endpoint (WeChat image upload API) is critical to our business.

As a result, we were forced to roll back to resty v2 to ensure system stability.

Please prioritize this regression — we’d like to adopt v3, but this blocker prevents us from upgrading.

@liyuan1125 Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry for the delayed response. I was occupied with my personal stuff.

Do you mind providing the reproducible code snippet with the test upload endpoint?
It will help me to trace the issue and address it.
