REST Attachments: Not able to attach svg file in query

Hello all,

I want to send a svg file in the Message body of a REST Put Request. I think that I set the correct content type "image/svg+xml" in the Attachments panel

Nevertheless ReadyAPI sends "application/octect-stream" for the svg file instead.

Does anybody have an idea how to get the correct content type?

Best regards

Burkhard

@sonya_m and @richie,

thank you very much. The Video at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL-zehJmtWw&list=PLrA5ciulugn_w0pW1_SSyfucD-k5Fasj_&index=5
helped me to solve my problem.
At least for me the only solution is to don't use the "Value" field of the request but to use Attachments panel as you can see in my aatched file.

Best regards
Burkhard

Have you tried multi-form data?

  Isn't this multi-form data?

    Hi Burkhard
    
    Did you resolve your issue? Apologies I've only just seen this post, but I had something similar maybe a year ago (I find the 'multipart/form-data' type/'Post QueryString' switch fiddly to use in ReadyAPI!).
    
    I got it working eventually but with some help from the board- if you still haven't got it sorted I was going to trawl through the posts from a year ago - (but I'm a little reluctant to do this if you've fixed your issue!)
    
    nice one,
