Hi,
 
I'm trying to upload an image (PNG) file from URL to the DMP via HTTP POST.  However, I'm getting an internal server error whenever I try to do so.  I've tried posting the XML payload in both escaped and unescaped format, and I get the same error.  However, the return payload is quite sparse and doesn't contain much information to identify the cause of the error.  Is there any way I can obtain some additional information on how to resolve this issue?
 
Below is the return payload the server:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><ns2:result
xmlns:ns2="http://www.cisco.com/dms/xml/ns/dsmCommonService"
xmlns:ns3="http://www.cisco.com/dms/xml/ns/historyManagement"><status>failure</status><code>Internal
Server Error</code></ns2:result>
 
Below are the URLs used and the form data being posted:
 
HTTP POST 
Endpoint URL: /xTAS-core/services/content/assets/
Content type: "multipart/form-data"
 
Form Data (unescaped):

--ou812--------------8c405ee4e38917c

Perhaps I should have made that distinction clear, but I am in fact trying to upload the asset to the DMM using the documented API (/xTAS-core/services/content/assets/content/assets/).  Please refer to my original post (endpoint URL):
 
HTTP POST 
Endpoint URL: /xTAS-core/services/content/assets/
Content type: "multipart/form-data"
 
This is the API that is throwing the HTTP 500 error.

I was sending the HTTP POST out programatically through the .NET HTTP APIs.  I found the issue with the form boundary field and I can create the asset successfully now.  Thanks for your help!
 

I am running into the same issue but not sure what the "Boundary" issue is. Can someone shed some light?
