Upload File in HTTP POST

[David Iffland]

I can't seem to figure out how to upload a file using the HTTP block. I tried skipping over to curl, but I have a different problem with single and double quotes. Here's what my CURL command is

curl --location --request POST 'https://location' 

--header 'Authorization: Bearer mytoken' --form 'csvData=@"/home/user/volume2/scratch/datafile.csv"'

Works as expected on ubuntu, but can't figure out how to put that in the shell curl block. I'd rather do the HTTP block if I can figure out how to post a file. 

Any ideas?

You need to create the whole multipart form body, try...

• Request URL: https://location/
• Request method: POST
• Request content type= "multipart/form-data;boundary=BoUnDaRy"
• Request content body= [ "--BoUnDaRy\r\nContent-Disposition:form-data;name=\"csvData\";filename=\"datafile.csv\"\r\n\r\n", "\r\n--BoUnDaRy--\r\n" ]
• Request content path: /home/user/volume2/scratch/datafile.csv
• Request headers= { "Authorization": "Bearer mytoken" }
