Sending a request as "multipart/related"

Hi,   I have a requirement to send a multipart SOAP message, with attachment, to a HTTP endpoint as POST.   The endpoint I am sending to requires I use the multipart/related Content-Type header (...

Hi Rao,

 

I have tried to type in "multipart/related" manually, but no attachment is actually added when you do that.

 

I have attached a screenshot where I have typed in "multipart/related" and here is the raw output of that request:

 

POST http://localhost:8280/ab/service/dri HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: multipart/related;charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Content-Length: 1467
Host: localhost:8280
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)

1. Is this request in a Test Suite -> Test Case -> Test Step?

2. Is the attachment type right?
<ac:FileFormatCd>text/xml</ac:FileFormatCd>

3. Can you show the screen shot by clicking on Attachment(1)?
4. Is cid matching?

      1. ContentId is usually the filename.
      2. In the screen shot, Part is empty. Actually this should match in your request. Can you please try clicking it?

        Hi,

        1. Yes, I set the ContentId manually. It is normally the filename, but I am using ACORD message standard which uses UUID for content id.

         

        2. Clicking Part gives an empty dropdown list.
