Hello It is not possible to send files with the Rest Client Activity. You have to use the Java API. There is story planned to support this feature.

But you should can use the plain java api:

package ch.ivy;

import java.io.File;

import javax.ws.rs.client.Client;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder;
import javax.ws.rs.client.Entity;
import javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

import org.glassfish.jersey.client.authentication.HttpAuthenticationFeature;
import org.glassfish.jersey.filter.LoggingFilter;
import org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.MultiPart;
import org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.MultiPartFeature;
import org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.file.FileDataBodyPart;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode;

public class Slimclient {
    private static final String TARGET_URL = "http://185.19.29.20:8082/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/311aac82-d9bc-4da3-9337-0069571d321a/children";

    public Slimclient() {

        HttpAuthenticationFeature autfeature = HttpAuthenticationFeature.basic("admin", "admin");

        Client client = ClientBuilder.newBuilder()
                .register(new LoggingFilter())
            .register(MultiPartFeature.class).build();
        client.register(autfeature);


        Response get = client.target(TARGET_URL).request().get();
        System.out.println(get.getStatus());

        WebTarget webTarget = client.target(TARGET_URL);

        MultiPart multiPart = new MultiPart();
        multiPart.setMediaType(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_TYPE);

        FileDataBodyPart fileDataBodyPart = new FileDataBodyPart("filedata",
            new File("C:\\temp\\Banner2.png"),
            MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_TYPE);
        multiPart.bodyPart(fileDataBodyPart);

        Response response = webTarget.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE)
            .post(Entity.entity(multiPart, multiPart.getMediaType()));

        System.out.println(response.getStatus() + " "
            + response.getStatusInfo() + " " + response);

        System.out.println(response.readEntity(JsonNode.class));
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Slimclient();
    }
}

I am not sure if it only works with multi part form data but with it it should work. Here an example rest service:

@Path("stream")
public class RenewLicenseService
{
  @POST
  @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
  @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
  public Result upload(@FormDataParam("bigFile") InputStream bigFile)
}

Have a nice day
