Hi @aditya.prakash,

I have developed a below custom activity for your situation. I have done the test locally. But I am not feel comfortable. Can you provide some public http to test the upload. So I did not update the documentation in the package thread.Can you please test it and give me your feedback.

Hi @balupad14,

Hey Balamurugan,

I have no idea about public http upload, but we can test it by making one rest api in another system!

we can acess that system by ipadress:port(web server)/ if both systems are in same n/w

i’m doing the same, GET Method is working fine, but not POST with attachment!!
if someone have sample for both! it will be great help!!

Aditya

As there is Attachment option in UIPATh Http Post Request, i’m Sending file by Attachment, i’m not getting any exception, but my question is how to get that file on another API, in which variable the file has Stored

Hello @aditya.prakash

Me too facing the similar issue, need to upload the PDF file to HTTP post method,
did you got any solution?

@UiPathMaster any idea how to pass multipart form data to POST API call?

mine is like:

------WebKitFormBoundarytvYPYIB3ex12bhe7
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=“q”; filename=“12page.pdf”
Content-Type: application/pdf

Thanks,
Meg

Hi,

For posting Files as multipart/form-data, you can use HTTP Request and select Method POST (or PUT depending on your need) add your files in the Attachments area. In the Value field you should add the full file name.

Hey Manuela,

I have did the same as you have suggested, but my question is Attachment files will send through which variable?
it will be great help if you will provide a working sample!

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

In order to understand your use case, could you please use Postman or another similar tool for testing APIs and share the configuration of the request that you want to send? How does your API look like?

Regards,
Manuela
