SharePoint Online: Uploading file using FrontPage Server Extenstion Put document method

Question

Hi,

I am trying to upload a file to SharePoint server using FrontPage Server Extenstion Put document method. I followed the below document,

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/sharepoint-2010/ms479623(v=office.14)

I am able to create the file successfully on the SharePoint using libcurl and postman, but I am not sure how to pass the file content in the body. Could anyone guide me how to do it?

Regards,
Sanjay

Hi @Sanjay Kumar R ,

The File Content in the request body should be the file binary stream data, in PostMan, you can select a specific file and will automatically convert as binary data, you can test it.

Here is the summary to upload a file:

POST https://{site_url}/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Folder Name')/Files/Add(url='{file_name}', overwrite=true)  
Authorization: "Bearer " + accessToken  
Content-Length: {length of request body as integer}  
X-RequestDigest: "{form_digest_value}"  
  
Contents of binary file  

And before uploading file, it's necessary to get request digest value and use as X-RequestDigest in request header, here is a blog with detailed steps, I suggest you can refer for detailed information:

Thanks
Best Regards
