I am sending data to an endpoint that requires a file in one of it's values. The data that I am sending :
The document's value is a file. But when I check the payload of the PATCH request in the network tab, the document is empty :
I have verified that I am sending the right data, but the payload doesn't seem to have it.

I have a problem with sending files to some API. When I do it via my server some pdf files send correctly but some not. But when I send the same pdf via POSTMAN everything works just fine. I am not sure what is the reason (probably POSTMAN encodes it into base64 but from my server, I send it in binary - just a guess). Is there a way to get the sent request file content from postman so that I can imitate it and compare with the request on my server?
I'm working in REST API development project. The client have provided the OpenAPI specification for the API which they are expecting.
We have used the openAPI generator cli to generate the API from the OpenAPI specs given by the client.
Following are the two APIs
1. /requestFile:
This API is expected to accept JSON payload and produces payload of content type application/pgp-encrypted.
We have annotated the API as below.
#postmapping(value="/requestFile",consumes={"application/json"},produces={"application/pgp-encrypted"})
The expectation is to transfer a PGP encrypted JSON file as a response to the POST message.
I'm not sure how to transfer the PGP encrypted file as a response, I have searched for some references but most of them are using maultipart file to transfer binary files. Whereas the content type of multipartfiles is not same as "application/pgp-encrypted".
I need some help in transferring this pgp encrypted file as a response to the POST message via REST API.
2. /feedback
This API consumes payload of type application/pgp-encrypted and produces a simple http response code back to the client. We have annotated the API as below.
#postmapping(value="/feedback", consumes={"application/pgp-encrypted"})
When I try to send a POST message using POSTMAN with content type application/pgp-encrypted, we are getting a 415 unsupported mediatype error.
I need to understand how do we send pgp-encrypted file as a payload via POSTMAN and what is the content type I must use to achieve this.
How can I attach a file to the environment in order to launch the collection in the Postman collection runner? The file is attached to the form-data, and manually the request runs ok, but as soon as I run it in the collection runner, the runner doesn't see the file and the 500 Internal server error occurs. How can this issue be fixed?
Request BodySee the full detail in the link
While constructing requests, you’ll work frequently with the request body editor. Postman lets you send almost any kind of HTTP request. The body editor is divided into 4 areas and has different controls, depending on the body type.
Note about Headers: When you are sending requests through the HTTP protocol, your server might expect a Content-Type header. The Content-Type header allows the server to parse the body properly. For form-data and urlencoded body types, Postman automatically attaches the correct Content-Type header so you don’t have to set it. The raw mode header is set when you select the formatting type. If you manually use a Content-Type header, that value takes precedence over what Postman sets. Postman does not set any header type for the binary body type.
Form-data
form-data
multipart/form-data is the default encoding a web form uses to transfer data. This simulates filling a form on a website, and submitting it. The form-data editor lets you set key-value pairs (using the data editor for your data. You can attach files to a key as well. Note: due to restrictions of the HTML 5 spec, files are not stored in history or collections. You will need to select the file again the next time you send the request.
Uploading multiple files each with their own Content-Type is not supported yet.See the image here in the link
I'm connecting to SkyBiomtery API in my C++ code using CPPREST SDK (Casablanca).
The SkyBiometry API accepts both GET, POST requests. I need to send the image to the SkyBiometry could service. Either I save the image on some public server and send them the URL of the image in the request.
OR (Which is my question) They say that "Note: in case where you want to POST images instead of specifying urls, request to the method must be formed as a MIME multi-part message sent using POST data. Each argument should be specified as a separate chunk of form data."
How can I send the image data in POST request using the CPP Rest SDK?
I have one destination of type Web Service Sender. That web service sends XML Response.
I want to read values from that response & write in to the database.
How can I read XML Response & retrieve values from response XML.
I tried in 'Edit Response' option from channel Tasks by putting XML template & creating variables from xml tree.But it didn't work.
How could I read & parse xml response ?
Are you sure that you are getting response back from the Web Service Sender??
Response from the destination must be in Edit Response 'msg' variable, if the response is empty none of the steps in Edit Response gets executed.
To check if you are really getting response from destination put a logger statement in Edit Response, to check if the control is going in Edit Response.
The Response from Webservice Sender , can be got from the responseMap in Mirth. The following code can help.
var destination = responseMap.get("Destination Name");
var responseMessage = destination.getMessage();
You can get the responseMessage and add it to the Channel Map so that the rest of the destinations in the channels can also access it.
Let us know how it goes.
