POST csv/Text file using cURL
How can I send POST request with a csv or a text file to the server running on a localhost using cURL.
I have tried curl -X POST -d @file.csv http://localhost:5000/upload but I get
{ "message": "The browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand." }
My server is flask_restful API. Thanks a lot in advance.

There are many alternate ways to accomplish this. One way is I have used the following:
curl -F ‘data=@<file_location>’ <URL>
Eg. curl -F [email protected] localhost:5000/h
Your command can also be changed slightly like this
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: text/csv' -d @file.csv http://localhost:5000/upload
The above is one of the many ways.It can be sent either as a part of form or data, or multipart, etc. You can refer Medium Post
