how to remove boundary part from raw request

In my case I need to attach a file through Ready API. When i am attaching and sending the request ready api automatically add some extra header and footer. I was able to remove some of it but still i am unable to delete boundary value which is auto generated and it is automatically adding to my raw request and when i am retrieving the file i am getting that boundary value back within my attachment. Please can you share your experience to resolve that issue.

i used the below code to remove extra header and footer:::

ef bodyPartAttach = context.getProperty("httpMethod").requestEntity.message.content.getBodyPart(0) // get a part by number, it starts with 0

bodyPartAttach.removeHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding")

 

But i need to remove the  "------ part= . '' from header and footer. I attached an image here. This part is going to add within my file whatever it is. if it is text file, pdf or any kind of file.

      And applying the below code the file did not attach even and did not go to server storage

      import org.apache.http.entity.FileEntity
       
      FileEntity fe = new FileEntity(new File("C:\\temp.xls"),"application/octet-stream") // specify the file location
      //fe.setChunked(true) // to send a file in chunks
      context.getProperty("httpMethod").setEntity(fe)

        Hi Mous,

         

        Can you provide me with an expected raw request and the request which you get in ReadyAPI?
