How to use blob.attach operation with CURL ?

Hi I'm trying to attach a blob to a file in nuxeo with the linux command curl but i can't find the right syntax to make the operation. I have allready read the documetation from : http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/NXDOC/REST+API and http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/NXDOC55/Using+cURL, but I still don't know how to manage blob.attach with CURL.

Thank you in advance for your advice.

same question. In general the documentation on REST APIs is really inadequate. Hopefully some more examples will be provided?

ANSWERS

Here's a working curl command against 5.7.3:

curl -X POST -F request=“{"params":{"document":"/default-domain/workspaces/mydoc"},"context":{}}” -F input=@myblob.bin http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/site/automation/Blob.Attach

Notes:

POST method
-F option tells curl to use multi-part/formdata encoding
note the JSON 'request' parameter, the 'document' element refers to an existing document that is of “File” doctype.
@myblob.bin tells curl to send the contents of the file 'myblob.bin'

Hope that helps
