Curl Script - Post a file (multipart/form-data)
Hi All,

I am trying to post an xml file (utf-16 encoded) using curl to a REST service. The REST service is expecting 'multipart/form-data' content type.

Code:
curl -k -i -H "Content-Type=multipart/form-data" -F "filename=@file.xml;type=text/xml" -X POST -u <username>:<password> <endPointURL>

However, i am getting 500 Internal Server error while running the script.
Code:
<= Recv header, 23 bytes (0x17)
0000: HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
<= Recv header, 36 bytes (0x24)
0000: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Through chrome's add on 'postman app' i am able to successfully post the xml to the REST service.

Unable to figure out the issue causing the 500 error. Kindly help me in resolving this issue.

Regards
Anooja
