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

Nagendra

The backslashes in the request body look suspicious.

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

Have you tried building this out in the REST API explorer?

I Have the same issue .

When I am request the third Party Api through PostMan with "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" as a "Content-Type"   in header

and passing data as a key and the value of xml data under "x-www-form-urlencoded" tab, by this I am getting proper response.

But when I was trying to post the request through RESTMessageV2 in ServiceNow for outbound request , didn't get the response.

getting "![CDATA[No XML was posted to sdk listener]]"   as a response.

sm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();

sm.setEndpoint('https://###################/listen.asp');

sm.setHttpMethod('post');

sm.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","x-www-form-urlencoded");

sm.setRequestBody("XML BODY");

Snippet from the ServiceNow Log..

Any suggestion on this really appreciated..

Thanks and Regards,

Subrata

I had the same issue, got to know that sometimes the third party queue has to be cleared , so i told my third party admin to clear it and it worked. I hope this helps .
