Hi,
I am using WFA REST APIs and one of the API there is to invoke a restore operation on WFA.
More details about the API can be found here: http://10.63.119.80/rest/docs/resource_BackupResource.html
I am not able to figure out a way to invoke an HTTP POST call by passing content of type multipart/form-data.
the type of file(backup file) i am trying to upload is gzip or zip file.
The script i am using is:
function invoke-rest {
param([string]$uri, [string]$body )
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}
#$enc = [system.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$request = [System.Net.HttpWebRequest]::Create($uri)
$request.Credentials = New-Object system.net.networkcredential("admin","admin")
$request.CookieContainer = New-Object System.Net.CookieContainer
$boundary = "--------------"+(get-date -format yyyymmddhhmmss).ToString()
$request.ContentType = "application/octet-stream; charset=UTF-8;"
$request.Method = "Put"
$request.keepAlive = $true
$requestStream = $request.GetRequestStream()
$streamWriter = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($requestStream)
$streamWriter.Write($body)
$streamWriter.flush()
$streamWriter.close()
[net.httpWebResponse]$response = $request.GetResponse()
$responseStream = $response.GetResponseStream()
$stream = new-object System.IO.StreamReader $responseStream
$xmlDump = $stream.ReadToEnd()
$output = [xml]$xmlDump
$response.close()
return $output
}
$uri = "http://localhost/rest/backups"
$method = "POST"
$body = @{}
$body = @{"name"="backupFile"; "filename"=[IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\wfa_backup_AG-1_.sql.gz")}
invoke-rest $uri $body
The error i get is:
Exception calling "GetResponse" with "0" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error
."
At C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\restore.ps1:19 char:58
+ [net.httpWebResponse]$response = $request.GetResponse <<<< ()
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Any help is appreciated. You can also test a script here:
