Uploading a file with API

Publicado 14 de jan. de 2021

I have read a lot of the posts about this subject but not quite gotten the answer i need.

I am using PowerShell to upload files to ZenDesk, i have it working for the most part. The file is uploaded and i can link it to a ticket.

The problem i have is the content of the file remains as the base64 string, i guess i have something wrong somewhere?

$fileName = "C:\myfolder\outputlog.log"

$shortFileName = "outputlog.log"

$fileUploadURL = ($uploadURL, "filename=$shortFileName" -join "?")

$fileContent = Get-Content $filename

$fileContentBytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($fileContent)

$fileBinary = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($fileContentBytes)

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $fileUploadURL -Headers $headers -Method post -ContentType "application/binary" -Body $fileBinary

StatusCode : 201

StatusDescription : Created

Also tried this, $fileBinary = [Convert]::ToBase64String((Get-Content -Path $fileName -Encoding Byte)) with the same result.

Just to say i have confirmed it is the base64 string that becomes the content of the text file.

Made some progress by omitting, $fileBinary = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($fileContentBytes) and just sending the bytes.
