Hi Francisco,

 

Do you mean we use the below function, read the entire contents of the CSV file into a blob_data variable or is there another way to just point the file directly ?

objectname.SendRequest ( methodName, urlName, blob data )

 

Thanks,

Vinod

There is not, you will have to load the contents manually

Hi Vinod,

 

I think you can use the HTTP Client and just post/put the contents of the file to the endpoint with either PostData or SendRequest. Remember to correctly set the Content-Type header to text/csv

 

Regards,
Francisco
