I am trying to upload a file using the REST API of DSpace 6 using curl:
curl -k -4 \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
--cookie "JSESSIONID=E7B87CCFA35FB83670F379072505580E" \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-X POST "http://localhost:5553/rest/items/4f7b0dba-428d-458a-854d-141350b9b678/bitstreams?name=Picture.jpg" \
-F 'upload=@picture.jpg'
Sending is done correctly, this is the response:
{"uuid":"737b78b7-8369-4b47-a36a-69ddd7f24bda","name":"Picture.jpg","handle":null,"type":"bitstream","expand":["parent","policies","all"],"bundleName":"ORIGINAL","description":null,"format":"JPEG","mimeType":"image/jpeg","sizeBytes":570897,"parentObject":null,"retrieveLink":"/rest/bitstreams/737b78b7-8369-4b47-a36a-69ddd7f24bda/retrieve","checkSum":{"value":"0dec466b8d8546a60f39882f7735f084","checkSumAlgorithm":"MD5"},"sequenceId":-1,"policies":null,"link":"/rest/bitstreams/737b78b7-8369-4b47-a36a-69ddd7f24bda"}
But when I try to access the uploaded (Inside DSpace) file it says it is not valid. Try upload a plain text file and add these to the top and to the end of the file:
--------------------------9406e94bc5f35740 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="data.txt" Content-Type: text/plain
[The file content here]
--------------------------9406e94bc5f35740--
I try with request in nodejs but i get the same error. Some help ? Thanks in advance.
I solved it using the -T (upload-file) param in the curl command:
curl -k -4 -v \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
--cookie "JSESSIONID=E7B87CCFA35FB83670F379072505580E" \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-X POST "http://localhost:5553/rest/items/4f7b0dba-428d-458a-854d-141350b9b678/bitstreams?name=picture.jpg" \
-T 'picture.jpg'
In nodejs using request-promise:
const rp = require('request-promise')
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const PostBitstream = async (itemId) => {
try {
const bitstream = fs.createReadStream(path.join('files', 'picture.jpg'));
const params = {
method: 'POST',
uri: `${BASE_URL}/items/${itemId}/bitstreams?name=${FILE_NAME}`,
headers: { "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data", "accept": "application/json" },
encoding: null,
body: bitstream
}
const res = await rp(params);
console.log(res);
} catch (err) {
console.log(err.stack);
}
}
