Im trying to do somethng like below but im getting code 400 bad request.I tried using multipart data but it is sending content type as body so getting in valid JSON.

Any help is appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You have to use the JavaScript operator to read a content from the file. Add to the operator something like the following:

var fso,filehandle,contents;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
filehandle = fso.OpenTextFile("D:\\Temp\\WAPT\\5.0 Test\\JSONFromFile\\json.txt",1);
contents = filehandle.ReadAll();
log.message(contents);
context.variable("test") = contents;
filehandle.close();

Then use the variable "test" in a POST request body.
