Bad Request creating a new document using REST API via Postman

Hello

I'm trying to create a new document using Postman before writting in in c#.
I can create folders, but when I try to create a new document, I get a Bad Request answer and can't find anything in the server logs.

Here are the headers

I can create a folder :

But not a new document :

I have tried to add the file_content_type and file_filename keys, but no change....

I have also checked that the file exists on the server.

Can anyone help please ?

Thanks

Franck

Please check where Ferdinand Prandl posted here or smart view . He has posted two snippets taking the postman pay load . We all do that we use postman and then take that code for a particular language . The file parameter is very specific in the way either OT or general rest is implemented I do not know that fully technically but those two examples will work in 99% of the cases

I now get a error 500 :

This error generates a log file (see attachement) on the server in ...OPENTEXT\CS16\logs folder with the following error :

Status: Value cannot be coerced to Local type

R0: {'"MS0003.pdf"','MS0003.pdf'}

Frame: GetFileUploadName (0)

ObjRef: #3e000146 (webdoc::WebDocUtils).'GetFileUploadName'

Looks like there is a problem getting the file name... Does anyone know how to solve it ?

Thanks

Retry this Postman request removing the additional double quotes around the file_filename key's value.

How about when you remove the file_filename and file_content_type keys from your request?
