cURL Request Example: Upload Content for Connect Banner

Using cURL, a POST request to upload content to the connect banner resource would look like this:

curl -v -k -u "root:changeme" --request POST -F
"datafile=@/home/xyz/banner.txt" https://<IP
address>:443/rest/v1/SP/preferences/banner/connect/content

Note:

cURL adds the Content-Type header value of multipart/form-data when a datafile value is specified.
