URI Multipart for Image file

Archives Ansible Project

Hello All,

I am trying to upload the image using below URI API call with multipart/form-data as i have almost 1 to 6 image to be uploaded at a time.

For testing i am only trying with the image 1.

Task work as expected but the issue is upload image are all scattered. I tried to upload using the curl and with GUI work perfectly.

Can anyone help.

  • name: multipart api call
    uri:
    url: “IP/api/xxxx/images”
    method: POST
    headers:
    Content-Type: “multipart/form-data”
    Authorization: “Bearer {{ access_token }}”
    validate_certs: <true/false>
    body_format: form-multipart
    body:
    image1:
    content: “{{ lookup(‘file’, ‘path_to_image.jpg’)}}”
    filename: “path_to_image.jpg”
    type: image/jpg
    register: register_uri_val

delegate_to: localhost

You cannot use lookup to get the image, because the templating engine will attempt to convert everything to utf-8 text within the data.

Just use the path to the image in the filename, and drop content

Hi Matt,

Thank you for the revert. I have tried with that approach already as below but then i get the error pasted below. Only way pass through for me was with the content but image pixel are all blown out

body:
image1:
filename: “path_to_image.jpg”
mime_type/type: image/jpg
register: register_uri_val

delegate_to: localhost

Haha, that error message from the server isn’t exactly helpful:

Looks like the server threw a gasket

I cannot really say without either seeing a working curl command, or knowing more about what caused the 500 ISE.

I do notice your latest task says “mime_type/type”, which should just be “mime_type”
