jodd-http: File upload issue

[Srinivas Nedunuri]

Current behavior

Hello, I am trying to use Jodd-http to send http post request for to server with file upload. ( https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4SVW_3.0.0/administering/deploy_api.html ) Which is basically a http post to upload a file in request body with content-type set to application/zip. When i tried this from jodd-http using form("file", new File("artifactpath")) server is not accepting the request saying "415 Unsupported media type Content-Type is not application/zip". Below is the code i am trying to use -

SocketHttpConnectionProvider shcp = new SocketHttpConnectionProvider();
shcp.setSslProtocol("SSL")

def uri = "https://Server/services"
HttpResponse response = HttpRequest.post(uri)
                                   .withConnectionProvider(shcp)
                                   .basicAuthentication(username,password)     
                                   .trustAllCerts(true)
                                   .header("Content-Type","application/zip")
                                   .form("mimeType","application/zip")
                                   .form("file", new File(artifactPath))                                     
                                   .send()

Can you help me with an example to do the http post with attachment in request body (Please see the request details in ibm link above) ?

Expected behavior

I am able to send http post to the server using postman successfully using below binary option.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

It might not be a issue with jodd, i just need some guidance on how to do this kind of requests.

Thanks for the help..

Can you please get me the curl export of above request? You are using the binary, so I assume that binary content is sent as a body, meaning you can't use form().

You can try to use body() instead - but it accepts a String, so you would need to convert the zip to correctly encoded String, what may be tricky. I will add an overloaded method body() that accepts the byte array or file.

Thanks for quick response Igr.. I am able to use this method - body(byte[] content, java.lang.String contentType) and send the post request successfully. If we can send file directly via body, that will be great.

[Igor Spasić]

Yes, that is the correct method @srinivas-n4u
It just sets the body with raw content

	 * Sets <b>raw</b> body content and discards form parameters.
	 * Also sets "Content-Length" and "Content-Type" parameter.

Sorry, I didn't saw it on my quick scan :)
