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

Here's my fix. I see it would solve several of the questions in this thread.

Convert your key: value pair to a raw data format of key=value with an & inbetween value and the next key:

key=value&nextkey=nextvalue&thirdkey=thirdvalue

Then place this into the Content portion of your message

ALSO set a HTTP Header of:

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Hi Nagendra,

Its been confirmed by ServiceNow that they do not support content-type as "multipart/form-data"  .The only solution is either use Mid server or create own proxy server where you can send as Binary Stream .

There are others content-type as "Application/Json" which  you can use.

Just to keep in mid that ServiceNow sends Text data out of ServiceNow.

Hi, 

Multipart/form-data requests are now supported via the REST action step in the IntegrationHub which comes as part of the ServiceNow IntegrationHub Installer plugin available for a fee in the Madrid release.

The procedure to set this up is explained in the below knowledge article.
