Document URL:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.9/html/api_guide/chap-red_hat_satellite-api_guide-using_the_red_hat_satellite_api#sect-API_Guide-Uploading_Content_to_the_Satellite_Server


Section Number and Name: 

5.3. Uploading Content to the Satellite Server


Describe the issue:

The suggested steps on how to upload content to Satellite via API do not work anymore.

Parameter 'version=2' doesn't seem to be valid anymore:
~~~ 
Mime::Type::InvalidMimeType ("version=2" is not a valid MIME type):
~~~

Parameter 'upload_ids' doesn't seem to exist anymore:
~~~
'No uploads param specified. An array of uploads to import is required.'
~~~

 
Suggestions for improvement: 

This works on Satellite 6.9 (importing 2 RPMs at time):

- Upload request for 1st package:

# curl --header "Accept:application/json" --header "Content-Type:application/json" --request POST --user admin:redhat --data "{}" https://`hostname -f`/katello/api/repositories/1741/content_uploads
~~~
{"upload_id":"cf51a39d-fd13-4c61-8c81-df26dbca33e3","_href":"/pulp/api/v2/content/uploads/cf51a39d-fd13-4c61-8c81-df26dbca33e3/"}
~~~

- Upload of 1st package:

# curl --header "Accept:application/json" --header "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" --request PUT --user "admin:redhat" --data-urlencode "content@/root/jsenkyri/tcpdump-4.9.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm" --data-urlencode offset=0 https://`hostname -f`/katello/api/repositories/1741/content_uploads/cf51a39d-fd13-4c61-8c81-df26dbca33e3


- Upload request for 2nd package:

# curl --header "Accept:application/json" --header "Content-Type:application/json" --request POST --user admin:redhat --data "{}" https://`hostname -f`/katello/api/repositories/1741/content_uploads
~~~
{"upload_id":"5594c4cf-d0e5-458c-be61-42ec801c426e","_href":"/pulp/api/v2/content/uploads/5594c4cf-d0e5-458c-be61-42ec801c426e/"}
~~~

- Upload of 2nd package:

# curl --header "Accept:application/json" --header "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" --request PUT --user "admin:redhat" --data-urlencode "content@/root/jsenkyri/candlepin-selinux-2.9.26-1.el7sat.noarch.rpm" --data-urlencode offset=0 https://`hostname -f`/katello/api/repositories/1741/content_uploads/5594c4cf-d0e5-458c-be61-42ec801c426e


- Import both uploads:

# curl --header "Accept:application/json" --header "Content-Type:application/json" --request PUT --user "admin:redhat" --data "{\"uploads\" : [ {\"id\" : \"cf51a39d-fd13-4c61-8c81-df26dbca33e3\" }, {\"id\" : \"5594c4cf-d0e5-458c-be61-42ec801c426e\"} ]}" https://`hostname -f`/katello/api/repositories/1741/import_uploads


Kind regards,
