  • 1.  Send file with http request

    Posted 07/10/21 10:20 AM
    What is the correct way to send file with this http request component?  Or is there another component I should use?

    IBM Robotic Process Automation Studio
    version 20.12.5
    trying to send file with http request component
    set --formatter = Bytes and --file=[location of my file]
    used the following as reference
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/rpa/20.12?topic=web-http-request

    Error List shows 2 required fields, but doesn't specify which fields



    used GUI and filled all bold fields, but the dialog box wouldn't save.  also tried entered valid values in all fields, still wouldn't save

    HI Wei,

    I can't see any problem with the dialog above - I typed in exactly the same and it saved fine.  One gotcha - have you defined all the variables?  If you have, maybe the error is somewhere else in your script?   I recommend isolating the error by moving this POST command into a script of its own and then integrate it with your larger script
