'NiFi- how to http post a PDF document
I wanted to use NiFi's posthttp/invokeHttp processor to post a PDF to an API.
But considering the following cURL request to replicate in NiFi:
curl -X POST "http://ipaddress:port/api/" -H "accept: application/json" -H
"Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "[email protected];
type=application/pdf"
Which property takes the -F information in nifi attributes?
Configuration for invokehttp right now:
error:
"400 Bad Request: The browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand."
Configration for posthttp right now:
error:
server logs: readv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading upstream

When you use PostHttp/InvokeHttp you wouldn't be referencing an external file, you would be sending the content of the flow file. So you would first need to bring sample.pdf into NiFi by using GetFile or ListFile/FetchFile and then flow file coming out of those processors represents the PDF, and you would route that flow file to InvokeHttp which would POST the content of the flow file (the pdf).
