URL Structure

[Blueprint_URI]/api/v1/projects/{projectId}/artifacts/{artifactId}/subArtifacts/{subArtifactId}/attachments

Supported Methods

Request Body

There are two ways to upload an attachment:

  • To add an attachment as a part of the request body, use the Content-MD5 header and manually calculate a MD5 token for the value.
  • Instead of providing an attachment as a part of the request body, you have the option of adding different sets of data by using MultipartContent MIME. For MultiPartContent, you must specify the Content-Type header as multipart/form-data (that is, Content-Type: multipart/form-data;boundary={token}) and use boundary parameters. For more information on using MultipartContent, see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html.
    For a reference in C#, see this example of a MultiPartContent request.
