How to convert this curl request to Http post request for file upload in java?












0















Following is my curl request:



curl -X POST --data-urlencode 'data1@/Users/Documents/file.csv' http://localhost:8000/predict


Following is my equivalent Java implementation.



String filePath = inputFilePath;
String url = inputUrl;
File file = new File(filePath);
CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpPost uploadFile = new HttpPost(inputUrl);
uploadFile.addHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8");

MultipartEntityBuilder builder = MultipartEntityBuilder.create();

FileBody fileBody = new FileBody(new File(inputFilePath));

HttpEntity reqEntity = MultipartEntityBuilder.create()
.addPart("data1", fileBody)
.build();


uploadFile.setEntity(reqEntity);
CloseableHttpResponse response = null;
try {
response = httpClient.execute(uploadFile);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}


I am trying to invoke my R Rest API endpoint from my Java HTTP post.



#* @post /predict
mypredict <- function(data1) {
print(data1)

}


(1) Is my equivalent Java HTTP Post request correct?
(2) I am able to invoke the R rest endpoint using my curl command. But for some reason when i sent the POST request through my Java code, i see that data1 is not being passed as part of post request. I see this error in R.



<simpleError in print(data1): argument "data1" is missing, with no default>


I feel my Java equivalent curl implementation is wrong. Can someone help?

          You specify content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded (as curl does for this case) but supply an actual body (entity) that corresponds to multipart/form-data which is radically different. Instead use URLEncodedFormEntity containing (for your case) one NameValuePair something like this:



          byte contents = Files.readAllBytes (new File(filepath).toPath());
          List<BasicNameValuePair> list = new ArrayList<BasicNameValuePair>();
          list.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data1", new String(contents,charset));
          uploadFile.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity (list));


          And you don't need addHeader("content-type",...) because setting the entity automatically supplies the content-type header (and content-length).
