Sending Post Request.

Hello, I would like to send a simple post request in order to create a new project with a given project name. First try:

URL = 'http://localhost:8080/api/v2/projects'
dataa={
  "messages": [],
  "body": {
    "name": "Dummy_Name2"
  }
}

r = requests.post(URL, data = dataa,auth=('admin', 'admin'))

Output:

{'timestamp': 1528204046959, 'status': 415, 'error': 'Unsupported Media Type', 'exception': 'org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException', 'message': "Content type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' not supported", 'path': '/api/v2/projects'}

Any opinion is appreciated.

The Content-Type header needs to specify a multipart boundary, e.g.

curl -u username:password -X POST --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---multipart-boundary-RANDOMSTRING' --header 'Accept: application/json' 'http://localhost:8080/webanno-webapp/api/v2/projects?name=test'

then you get sensible output:

{"messages":[],"body":{"id":260,"name":"test"}}

Working Python solution:

import requests
project_name = 'api_project1'
create_project_url = "http://??.??.???:?????/api/v2/projects?name=" + project_name
headers = { "content-type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=---multipart-boundary-RANDOMSTRING" }
response = requests.post(create_project_url, auth=('???', '???'), headers=headers)
create_project = response.json()
