I'm trying to send a file to a Spring Boot application clamav-rest. The curl command is working fine. Here's the output,
curl -k -F name="test file" -F file=@"myfile.pdf" https://clamav.my.org/scan
POST /scan HTTP/1.1 Host: clamav.my.org User-Agent: curl/7.56.1 Accept: */* Content-Length: 22834 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------5814453ea3a5f3e0 Expect: 100-continue HTTP/1.1 100 Continue HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 23:19:10 GMT Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 21 Everything ok : true
I'm using Spring 3.2 to make a REST call, which results in a 400 Bad Request error.
MultiValueMap<String, Object> parts = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, Object>();
parts.add("name", "fileUpload.obj");
parts.add("file", in);
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA);
HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, Object>> requestEntity =
new HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, Object>>(parts, headers);
ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity =
restTemplate.exchange("https://clamav.my.org/scan", HttpMethod.POST, requestEntity, String.class);
String body = (String) responseEntity.getBody();
Here's the log output
Created POST request for "https://clamav.my.org/scan" Setting request Accept header to [text/plain, application/json, application/*+json, */*] Writing [{name=[fileUpload.obj], file=[[B@fe97ef91]}] as "multipart/form-data" using [org.springframework.http.converter.support.AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter@4885d075] POST request for "https://clamav.my.org/scan" resulted in 400 (Bad Request); invoking error handler Created POST request for "https://clamav.my.org/scan" Setting request Accept header to [text/plain, application/json, application/*+json, */*] Writing [{file=[[B@fe97ef91]}] using [org.springframework.http.converter.support.AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter@e8e8b3fa] POST request for "https://clamav.my.org/scan" resulted in 400 (Bad Request); invoking error handler
I've tried several iterations and searched all over for example code. Any thoughts about how to make a successful request? TIA
Found the answer in a related post, sending-file-over-spring-rest-service-via-resttemplate
The RestTemplate call is now,
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
FormHttpMessageConverter converter = new FormHttpMessageConverter();
restTemplate.getMessageConverters().add(converter);
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA);
MultipartByteArrayResource resource = new MultipartByteArrayResource(in);
resource.setFilename("fileUpload.obj");
MultiValueMap<String, Object> parts = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, Object>();
parts.add("name", "fileUpload.obj");
parts.add("file", resource);
HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, Object>> requestEntity = new HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, Object>>(parts,
headers);
ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity = restTemplate.exchange("https://clamav.my.org/scan",
HttpMethod.POST, requestEntity, String.class);
String body = (String) responseEntity.getBody();
which I'm sure can be improved, but it's working for now.
