How to set Form-data in Rest Message ( attaching a file )

[nagendra1891]

Hey guys,

I have everything set up and running the only issue is how to set the request of the rest message to ( -F ) form-data

My curl look like this.

curl https:/<endpoint url>/content \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" -X POST \
  -F attributes='{"name":"tigers.jpeg", "parent":{"id":"11446498"}}' \
  -F file=@myfile.jpg

this is what causing the problem !!!   the body of the request must be set to -F ( form data )

-F attributes='{"name":"tigers.jpeg", "parent":{"id":"11446498"}}' \
  -F file=@myfile.jpg

setContent() did not work

.

Any help is appreciated!!

regards

Have you taken a look at this page?

Scripted REST API example - streaming file attachments

[nagendra1891]

yes I have looked into ,

ctomasi

so here is what I am doing

    var postFile =new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();

  postFile.setEndpoint('https://###################/content');

  postFile.setHttpMethod('post');

  postFile.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','multipart/form-data');

  postFile.setRequestBody('attributes=\'{"name":"tigers.jpeg", "parent":{"id\":"##########"}}');

  postFile.saveResponseBodyAsAttachment('0c1b9818db212200fd283740cf96196f');

  var res=postFile.execute();

i get back 500 response

same call using postman

i get response 200  

the issue is I have to set the content of the   body to form and give them a key value pair.

have gone through every post in the community , I did not see any post which says how to set Form-data    

any help on this is really appreciated
