Hello,

Trying to post a file using the REST API gives an error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Errors><Error><errorCode>MISSING_ARGUMENT</errorCode><message>No attachment found and body is empty. Provide a non-empty 'text' parameter, or a rich input including non-empty message segments. If providing rich JSON/XML input in REST, make sure to include Content-Type header. In multipart REST, include the Content-Type in the part.</message></Error></Errors>

The content of my request is the one taken from the documentation [full request on the bottom of this post]:

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/chatterapi/Content/intro_input.htm#cc_upload_binary_files

I tried the json, older version of the API (V27.0), got the same messages. Since I had this error in my implementation, I tried using a Chrome extension called ‘Advanced REST Client’ and got the same message so obviously I'm doing something wrong or the request has a problem.

Now, the id I'm using here is from a custom object that has Feeds. If I'm posting a standard Text post/comment to it , all is working correctly, but file uploads are not working. Since I'm taking the exact documentation sample, it seems weird.

Any thoughts ?
