This scenario applies only to Talend ESB, Talend Data Services Platform, Talend MDM Platform, Talend Real-Time Big Data Platform, and Talend Data Fabric.

This scenario describes how to upload data to a REST service using HTTP POST in a HTML form file. To do so, a Job is created to accept HTTP POST requests using the tRESTRequest component.

A predefined HTML form UploadFile.html is used to upload data to the REST service:

<form action="http://localhost:8088/UserInfo" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
	<input type="file" name="id" />
	<button>upload</button>
</form>

The customer.xml that contains a user ID will be uploaded:

  <customer>
    <id>100</id>
  </customer>
