Questions and Answers
1

I am trying to use the upload plugin to upload a file, this time with cURL.

This is my curl command.

curl -X POST http://<ip address>:1337/api/products -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data;' -F 'file=@/direct/path/to/resource/filename.stl'

I get the error.

Warning: setting file
Warning: /path/to/file/filename.stl
Warning: failed!
curl(26) read function returned funny value

Thank you for your help explaining this.

The 26 error was caused by placing the @ symbol at the beginning of the URI instead of in front of the filename.
