in thread POST file through REST::Client [SOLVED]

Hi,

I realize you've marked this solved, but stratigery important :)

Yes I am printing the return of the request and this is the error output:

That is not a request. That is information you've already provided. Its like you pay for a drink, bartender says not enough, you still owe me 3 dollars, and you respond with, yes, I already gave you a napkin.

I dont understand what you're trying to do with that code snippet...I am trying to post a file to server for further processing.

I honestly thought you were trying to bake cookies, which is why I asked how much water you've added, because I wanted to make sure you were serious when you said I am trying to bake cookies and I added this much water, because that makes total cents. Total cents!

You should be using the credentials method...To be honest I thought this is better ... CURL...working just fine .. except upload ... I tried to use it but it did not worked :)

Credentials is convenient, shorter and easier to remember and use, than hand-enconding basic auth.

As a bonus, credentials doesn't send username/password unless the remote/target/destination server asks for authentication, and the domain/realm matches.

If credentials "isnt working", your domain/real doesn't match, or your server is broken by not asking for authentication.

Brute force is a terrible way to learn, sourcediving to copy/paste instead of taking 10min to understand 20 lines of code and the corresponding docs.

Anyway , if reject convenience, go big and reject the entire enchilada

#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use LWP; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; ## watch "actual" http transactions on stdout $ua->add_handler("request_send", sub { shift->dump; return }); $ua->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return }); $ua->show_progress(1); ## on stderr my $urljig = 'http://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Basic/'; $ua->credentials( URI->new( $urljig )->host_port, 'test', 'guest', 'gu +est' ); $ua->get( $urljig ); ## first login (get challenged, authenticate) $ua->post( # then upload "big" file $urljig, { # %form file => [ # form input field name undef, # or '/real/path/to/file/to/upload.txt' "filename to be send that is different from real/path/to/f +ile/to/upload", -content_type => 'text/json', -content => "file contents cause undef doesnt read file", ], }, content_type => 'multipart/form-data', # for the %form ); __END__

When run this produces fruits
