smarthacker67 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks I am trying to create equivalent post request using LWP::Useragent

 curl ENDPOINT \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" -X POST \
  -F attributes='{"name":"test.txt", "parent":{"id":"0"}}' \
  -F file=@test.txt
[download]

my request looks like this

my $json = encode_json {"name" => "test.txt", "parent" => {"id" => 0}}
+;

my $resp = $ua->post(
            ENDPOINT , 
           {file => <$fh> ,'attributes'=>$json },
          'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $token ,
           Content_Type => 'multipart/form-data' .
  );
[download]

but not working getting 400 response Can some one help me. I am actually trying to upload the file to the endpoint with the curl I am able to but looking for equivalent LWP useragent request.

For starters, that syntax doesn't match any of the documented calling conventions: `POST $url POST $url, Header => Value,... POST $url, $form_ref, Header => Value,... POST $url, Header => Value,..., Content => $form_ref POST $url, Header => Value,..., Content => $content` [download] You want `my $attributes = { name => "test.txt", parent => { id => 0 }}; $ua->post(ENDPOINT, Content_Type => 'form-data', Authorization => "Bearer $token", Content => [ attributes => encode_json($attributes), file => [ "test.txt" ], ], );` [download] Use the following if you don't want to read from disk: `[ undef, "test.txt", Content => $file_contents ]` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks for reply. I tried following your method and referred the following as well http://search.cpan.org/~oalders/HTTP-Message-6.16/lib/HTTP/Request.pm#EXAMPLES but no luck so far. still getting 405 error code. I am not sure on how to add BODY PARAMS and the actual file content with the post request. I am intending to UPLOAD a file via post request to END POINTS	[reply]

Your curl post uses `"name":"test.txt"` but your LWP post uses `"name" => "upload.txt"`. If the datasets are different you should not be surprised that you get different results.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It was just for sake of example. I am using the file name and passing the file content as well.	[reply]
