How to convert curl call with “-i --upload-file” into java Unirest or any other http request?

Question

The example below uses cURL to upload image file included as a binary file.

curl -i --upload-file /path/to/image.png --header \"Authorization: Token\" \'http         


        

Answer 1

I think the curl command curl -i --upload-file /path/to/image.png --header "Authorization: Token" 'https://url....'

uses PUT while your Java client uses POST

Source: The man page of curl.

       -T, --upload-file 
              This  transfers  the  specified local file to the remote URL. If
              there is no file part in the specified URL, Curl will append the
              local file name. NOTE that you must use a trailing / on the last
              directory to really prove to Curl that there is no file name  or
              curl will think that your last directory name is the remote file
              name to use. That will most likely cause the upload operation to
              fail. If this is used on an HTTP(S) server, the PUT command will
              be used.

Not sure if this is the actual problem though. Your API doc link actually specifies POST.
