I’m trying to convert the below curl to an HTTPConnector PATH request, but I’m having trouble identifying which field the form-data needs to be included in.

curl --request PATCH \  
--url [https://plus.dnb.com/v1/monitoring/regi … n/duns/add](https://plus.dnb.com/v1/monitoring/registrations/myregistration/duns/add) \  
--header ‘accept: application/json’ \  
--header ‘authorization: alphanumerictoken’ \  
--header ‘content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=—011000010111000001101001’ \  
--form duns=duns.txt

---

From reviewing the curl request, I presume that you intend to update a certain data resource with the duns.txt content while the Content-Disposition header is expected to be form-data. Is that correct? If so, this can be achieved with the following HTTPConnector setup:

- URL: [https://plus.dnb.com/v1/monitoring/regi … n/duns/add](https://plus.dnb.com/v1/monitoring/registrations/myregistration/duns/add)

- Request method: PATCH

- Add input fields as parameters: true

- Send parameters in: Query

- Multipart entities: duns (note: using this property requires you to utilize the HTTPConnector input port 0 where you would want to push the path to the duns.txt)

- Input mapping: you would want to map the $in.0.duns to the duns\_EntityContent in order to pass the duns.txt content

- Raw HTTP Headers: accept: application/json \ authorization: alphanumerictoken \ content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=—011000010111000001101001

If I misunderstood your question, please provide more details concerning what exactly you are trying to achieve. Thank you.

Best regards,
