system.net.httpClient file parameter for Jira attachment

Hi,
I'm trying to post attachment to Jira Sofware Cloud using system.net.httpClient

Jira documentation :
(https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-attachments/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-attachments-post)

I'm using the following code :

def addAttachment(domain, filepath, issue, user, passwd):
baseurl	= "https://" + domain + "/" + str(issue) + "/attachments"

headers = {
   "Accept": "application/json",
   "X-Atlassian-Token": "no-check",
}

payload = filepath

client    = system.net.httpClient()
response = client.post(baseurl, username=user, password=passwd, file=payload, headers=headers)

if response.good:
	return str(response) + " | " + response.text
else :
	return str(response) + " | " + response.text

resulting in the following error :

..atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/10334/attachments' [400]> | {"message":"org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase$InvalidContentTypeException: the request doesn't contain a multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed stream, content type header is application/octet-stream","status-code":500,"stack-trace":""}

It seems like the file parameter is not fully compliant with what Jira is waiting for.

Could you help me solving this issue ?

Thank you in advance

Guillaume

Tip: use the </> code formatting button to preserve code indentation and apply syntax highlighting. It's essential for Python and makes any code much easier to read. There's an edit button 🖉 below your post so you can fix it.

httpClient doesn't currently have any builtin support for form data requests, unfortunately.

You'll have to manually create the data in the appropriate 'shape' - basically, write out the required header and then append the encoded attachment data, and set the Content-Type header manually.
