Upload pdf by API

[davidfungf]

I want to upload a pdf file by the API (POST https://x.x.x.x/api/documents/) using the following curl command. But it returned 401 unauthorized.

curl --location 'https://xxx.app.github.dev/api/documents/' \ --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \ --form '=@"/C:/Users/R008128.pdf"'

This issue is for a: (mark with an x)

From you URL I understand that you're trying to send the file to the server running locally in your Codespaces?

First, can you try running the curl command locally in your Codespaces terminal, using a format like this:

curl -X POST -F "[email protected]" http://localhost:7071/api/documents

Note that you have to set the file key otherwise it won't work

Thank you! I uploaded the document successfully.
