How to pass a file and metadata as form-data in Connect-REST post method body
Hello,
We are on pega 6.3Sp1 and we have a requirement to connect to an API through Connect-REST post method.
For this we need to pass file and some metadata in body of the request.I am able to call the service and perform functionality using Postman(attached postman configuration)
As suggested in one of the article in PDN(https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/unable-send-attachment-connect-rest),we tried to set required properties on pyRequestAttachmentPage and for meta data i am setting required data to one property and sending it in the request through body of the connect-Rest rule(attached PRPC Configuration).But i am getting error in response saying "Current Request is not a multipart request".
Please advise me how i can send both attachment and metadata in request.
Thanks,
Jyothi.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
Now we are able to achieve this functionality. we have followed the procedure mentioned in article -https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/unable-send-attachment-connect-rest. only change we did is passing metadata in query string instead of body.

It is likely you'll want to implement the Example 2 from below.
------------------ troubleshooting details from SR that led to PDN article posted above ------------------------
Is it a simple POST request with the Content-Type set according to the binary content, say, application/pdf if it is PDF content or is it part of a "multipart" request with one part being the binary content?
Here are examples of the two "kinds" of request:
Example 1
POST /images HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.org
Content-Type: image/jpeg
<jpeg content goes here>
Example 2
POST /images HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.org
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=xyz
--xyz
Content-Type: image/jpeg;charset=UTF-8
<jpeg content goes here>
--xyz--
