Do ACC API support multipart/form-data creation?

Hello Expert,

I'm developing the javascript to call the Web-service. However, they require the media-type as 'multipart/form-data'.

I've checked this link about ACC API -> https://experienceleague.adobe.com/developer/campaign-api/api/p-8.html

But it's look like, ACC don't have any class that support to create multipart/form-data

I'm not sure that Adobe Campaign Classic v7 can form this type of data? Or can we import the form-data library into ACC -> How to?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm not sure I'm getting what you're trying to achieve. Do you want to call a remote webservice with ACC and that remote webservice requires multipart/form-data?

In Campaign you can use the HttpClientRequest class to construct your http call (including the Content-Type header as multipart/form-data) and send it to the webservice: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/developer/campaign-api/api/c-HttpClientRequest.html?hl=httpclientrequest 

Best regards, Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    Thanks for the response.

    Yes, I'm trying to use ACC to call a remote webservice which required multipart/form-data.

    And yes, I can use HttpClientRequest with header-type as multipart/form-data.

     

    However, I'm stuck at attach the upload file.

    The webservice require to upload the file as string(binary) which I have found many posts that using FileReader.readAsBinaryString() but look like that Adobe did not support this class.

     

    So, I'm not sure that do we have any other choices that I can do?

    PS: If you have an example, please put it in the post.

    Thank you 🙂

    Hi. I managed to solve the problem using the js below.  In my circumstance I was trying to transfer a very simple csv file with a single column with column header that I had already exported to the Adobe server in the previous step.

     

    logInfo("File name is: " + vars.filename)
    memBuf = new MemoryBuffer()
    memBuf.load(vars.filename)
    data = memBuf.toString()
    logInfo("Size is " + memBuf.size)

    boundary = "nVenJ7H4puv"

    body = "--" + boundary + '\r\n'
    body = body + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name='upFile'; \r\n"
    body = body + "Content-Type: text/csv\r\n\r\n" //two carriage returns required before adding the data
    body = body + data + '\r\n'
    body = body + "--" + boundary + "--\r\n"

     

    url ="https://<url of site> "

    var http=new HttpClientRequest(url);
    http.header ["Content-Type"] = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary;
    http.header ["Accept"] = "*/*";
    http.header ["Authorization"] = "whatever";
    http.method = "POST" ;
    http.body = body;

    http.execute();
    var result = http.response.body.toString();
    logInfo("Result String: "+result);
    var responseCode = http.response.code
    logInfo("Response code is: "+ responseCode)
