Could not find message body reader for type: interface org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.providers.multipart.MultipartFormDataInput

[Julien Paulhan]

Hello, I have a problem no matter what I do, to upload files to Longhorn using the REST method:

Could not find message body reader for type: interface org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.providers.multipart.MultipartFormDataInput of content type: text/html</u></p><p><b>description</b> <u>The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect.

What do I need to do? Install jboss? There is a jar for jboss resteasy included in the package but it seems I need to configure something somewhere? I tried to add this information in the <repositories> in the pom.xml file
Thanks,

Julien

Hi Julien,

Can you tell me more about how you are making the request, and what kind of content you're sending to Longhorn?

Hi Chase,

Thanks for taking the time to look into it.
I am basically just attempting to send files to Longhorn using the REST interface
I can create projects all fine - with the code below in Python (that was easier to make some tests with Python):

# beginning of code, loading Python requests lib etc.

import requests
url = 'http://10.0.0.32:8080/okapi-longhorn/'
response = requests.post(url+'projects/new', data=data)

# creation of new project works great

response = requests.get(url+'projects/')

# retrieval of projects works like a charm too
# now to add a file:

payload = "hello world!"
headers = {'accept-encoding': 'multipart/form-data', 'content-type': 'text/html'}
response = requests.post(url+'projects/1/inputFiles/test.html', data=payload, verify=False, headers=headers)

# here it doesn't work
I have tried lots of possible configurations (without the filename or whatever) but then I get error 405 meaning that I am doing it wrong
Here I get error 400
Thanks if you can help me - I am badly stuck at this stage
Thanks a lot,

Julien

Hi anyone,

Any feedback regarding this? I am used to working with API and REST interfaces so I don't really get why it's not working here...
Thanks

Hi Julien,

Sorry, I didn't have much time to look at this over the weekend.

I usually work with the APIs through the java api library, so I'm going to need to dive into this a bit to see what's going wrong.

Hi Julien,

There were two issues.  First, when adding an inputFile, use PUT instead of POST.  Second, Longhorn sort of obscurely looks for a request part called "inputFile" to contain payload data.

I was able to make it work using the files=dict(...) syntax for multipart/form-data as described here.  So working code would be:

payload = "hello world!"
response = requests.put(url+'projects/1/inputFiles/test.html', files=dict(inputFile=payload))

Hi Chase,

I didn't have time to check yesterday. It's working - as expected. Thank you very much! :)
