Question

I have tried multiple HTTP APIs to post a file to OneDrive using the POST method, and I am getting always the same error.
I went to the extreme case of creating my own SSL TCP socket and send the following bytes:
POST /v5.0/folder.a4fb14adbccd1917.A4FB14ADBCCD1917!32089/files HTTP/1.1

And I always get the following bytes back:

"message": "The request entity body has an incorrect value in the 'Content-Disposition' header. The expected format for this value is 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"[FileName]\"'."
}
}
All of this happened after I tried to answer this SO question.
Any idea?
UPDATE: I used the onedrive-api tag as recommended in the MSDN forums.

Answer 1

Try putting the Content-Disposition header as the first header after the boundary, followed by the Content-Type:
--8381f8b9-b470-43ce-b23b-f13cf5840014
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="hello.txt"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; charset=UTF-8
You may need to omit the Content-Length as well to make it work. Pretty fragile really.
