REST Attachments: Not able to attach svg file in query

Question

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 panelNevertheless ReadyAPI sends "application/octect-stream" for the svg file instead.&nbsp;Does anybody have an idea how to get the correct content type?&nbsp;Best regardsBurkhard

@sonya_m and @richie,&nbsp;thank you very much. The Video at YouTube:&nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL-zehJmtWw&amp;list=PLrA5ciulugn_w0pW1_SSyfucD-k5Fasj_&amp;index=5helped 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.&nbsp;Best regardsBurkhard

Hahaha! sonya_m you rock!That IS the post i was talking about....good spot!Burkhard.  Ive been thinking more about your issue.  Quick question.  Are you sure your endpoint needs the REST query parms passed as content of the request payload?  Switching the Post QueryString on sets the type to multiform type and i'm wondering if this is part of the problem.  I know ive tested some endpoints that needed the query parms passed as part of the payload but ive also tested endpoints where i had the choice (so didnt!)If you set the type to the svg/xml and pass your query parms as part of the URI rather than payload this might help get around the issue without having to confuse things using multipart form type?If you need to use the multipart form type then i suggest reviewing the detail in the post that sonya_m found?Nice oneRich

Have you tried multi-form data?

Isn't this multi-form data?&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;Burkhard&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Did you resolve your issue?&nbsp; &nbsp;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!).
&nbsp;
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!)
&nbsp;
nice one,

Hi richie ,unfortunatley I'm still not able to solve that problem. I found a post here https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Pro/Update-Content-Type-in-Attachment-before-submission/m-p/41128 where the Content-Type in Attachment was changed before submission with help of event handler "RequestFilter.filterRequest" but I'm not able to get this handler working. So it would be really great if you could find some time to check your old posts how you fixed this problem.Best regardsBurkhard
