I need to make this curl command into a nodejs request, either using fetch, request or axios networking libraries
The request needs to PUT the file data to the URL
curl -v -H "Content-Type:application/octet-stream" --upload-file C:/Users/deanv/Pictures/test3.mp4 "https://www.example.com/file/upload"
I've tried using CurlConverter to convert my curl command to node code, but this doesn't work as I cant add the file data.
var fetch = require('node-fetch');
fetch('https://www.example.com/file/upload', {
method: 'PUT',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'
}
});
All help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Try this:
// setup modules
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const FormData = require('form-data');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
// setup paths
const pathToFile = 'C:/Users/deanv/Pictures/test3.mp4';
const uploadUrl = 'https://www.example.com/file/upload';
// create form, 'content-type' header will be multipart/form-data
const form = new FormData();
// read the file as stream
const fileStream = fs.createReadStream(path.resolve(pathToFile));
// add the file to the form
form.append('my_file', fileStream);
fetch(uploadUrl, {
method: 'PUT',
body: form
}).then((res) => {
console.log('done: ', res.status);
return res.text();
})
.then((res) => {
console.log('raw response: ', res);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log('err', err);
});
