Hello Andrew, I believe I was running into something similar before and my problem was actually with the curl command itself. When I added "--data-binary" to the command it worked.

We want to expose both the capability to SFTP a file into a dropbox or perform an HTTP File Upload. So I’ve set up both a GetFile and ListenHTTP processors. After both processors, I just add a success relationship to a PutFile processor to write the file to an archive directory. The dropbox works as expected, however the ListenHTTP processor isn’t working quite as I’d expect it to, so I’m hoping someone can point out what I’m doing wrong. As a simple case, I just set up a ListenHTTP processor and have it listening on port 8080 at the “ingest” context. So I can hit it at http://localhost:8080/ingest. No security or anything yet. Then from the command line, I’m trying to upload file like so: curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "filename: maven-4.0.0.xsd" -F "data=@maven-4.0.0.xsd" http://localhost:8080/ingest The file is uploaded and written to the directory, however it is wrapped with the form encoding. So the beginning of the file now looks like: --------------------------78b35889e5299cc2 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data"; filename="maven-4.0.0.xsd" Content-Type: application/octet-stream <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- =================== DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE ==================== --> <!-- Generated by Modello 1.8.3, --> <!-- any modifications will be overwritten. --> <!-- ============================================================== --> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; targetNamespace="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";> <xs:element name="project" type="Model"> <xs:annotation> Obviously the file is no longer a valid xsd file nor the same as what was sent from the source system. I used an xsd file just for testing, but we could have any type of file (binary, text, what have you…). I have also tried this same upload using a Java client and I get the same result. Can anyone let me know how we can get this to work? Thanks Andrew
