Hi all -
Well... after staggering around and clutching my head for a few hours I
realized that I didn't need the `multipart` at all (tricked by tricky API
documentation, once again!).
http:send-request(
<http:request method='POST' username='{$user}' password='{$pass}'
auth-method='Basic' send-authorization='true'>
<http:header name='Content-Type' value='{$content-type}'/>
<http:body media-type='{$content-type}'/>
</http:request>,
'http
://localhost:8080/fedora/objects/tdh:2/datastreams/OBJ?versionable=true?dsLocation=/path/to/my/
image.tif',
file:read-binary('/path/to/my/image.tif')
)
is working great.
Have a lovely day and/or night.
Best,
Bridger
