@kalyanDev @GBK did you guys resolve this? I am running into the same issue. Please assist .

Hello Hatakora,
Here I have a solution for Form Data:

You have all the code in the description of the movie or here:

github.com

cristinegulescu/startUiPathFromSalesforce/blob/master/FormData.txt

/// Visual Basic and UiPath Code

Dim client As HttpClient = New HttpClient()
client.BaseAddress = New Uri("YOUR URL")
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear()
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(New MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"))
// for BASIC AUTH
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(“username:password”)
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = New AuthenticationHeaderValue(“Basic”, Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray))Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(“username:password”)        
// for OAUTH2
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("authorization", "Bearer YOUR TOKEN")
Dim request As MultipartFormDataContent = New MultipartFormDataContent()
request.Add(New StringContent("Bad"), "tags")
request.Add(New StringContent("true"), "displayreferencetext")
request.Add(New StringContent("0.63"), "similaritythreshold")
request.Add(New StreamContent(File.OpenRead("C:\\8A.docx")), "file", (New FileInfo("C:\\8A.docx").Name))

Dim response As HttpResponseMessage = client.PostAsync("", request).Result
Dim strm As Stream = response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync.Result
Dim doc As Byte()

This file has been truncated. show original

Thanks,
Cristian

Hi @Cristian_Negulescu thank you for the response. How do i adjust this to take Cookie value as authentication instead

indrajit.shah · August 26, 2022, 2:04pm

Hi @kalyanDev can you help me how you fixed it?

@Cristian_Negulescu I am trying the code and followed the movie too but how do I add this below as body in the code?

request.Add(New StringContent(“”[{“name”: “A Field”, “values”: [{“value”: “ABC”}]}]“”), “fields”)

It is giving me ')'expected. error

Cristian_Negulescu · August 30, 2022, 11:43am

There You have a JSON. You need to build JSON like in this movie:

and the JSON will be in variable Jobj let’s say and you will call like this:

request.Add(New StringContent(Jobj), “fields”)

Thanks,
Cristian
