Altova RaptorXML+XBRL Server 2024

Given below is a listing of the body of a POST request. It has numbered callouts that are explained below. The command submitted in the listing request would have the following CLI equivalent:

 

raptorxmlxbrl xsi First.xml Second.xml --xsd=Demo.xsd

 

The request is for the validation of two XML files according to a schema. The body of the request would look something like this, assuming that ---PartBoundary has been specified in the header as the boundary string (see Request Header above).

 

-----PartBoundary

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="msg"

Content-Type: application/json

 

1

{"command": "xsi", "options": {} , "args": []}

 

2

-----PartBoundary

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="First.xml"; name="args"

Content-Type: application/octet-stream

 

3

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<test xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Demo.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">42</test>

 

4

-----PartBoundary

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Second.xml"; name="args"

Content-Type: application/octet-stream

 

5

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<test xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Demo.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">35</test>

 

6

-----PartBoundary

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Demo.xsd"; name="additional-files"

Content-Type: application/octet-stream

 

7

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">

   <xs:element name="test" type="xs:int"/>

</xs:schema>

-----PartBoundary--

1

The name of the main form-data part boundaries are declared in the request header. The part boundary separator must be a unique string that will not occur anywhere in the embedded documents. It is prefixed with two dashes and is used to separate the multiple parts. The first form-data part in this example is msg. Note that the content type is application/json.

2

This is the standard syntax for HTTP POST requests. If args contains a reference to a file and if additional files are uploaded, both sets of files will be passed to the server.

3

The first member of the args array is a file attachment called First.xml.

4

The text of the file First.xml. It contains a reference to a schema called Demo.xsd, which will also be uploaded—in the additional-files form-data part.

5

The second member of the args array is an attachment called Second.xml.

6

The text of the file Second.xml. It too contains a reference to the schema Demo.xsd. See callout 7.

7

The first additional files part contains the Demo.xsd attachment metadata.

8

The text of the file Demo.xsd.

9

The end of the Demo.xsd additional files part, and the additional-files form-data part. Note that the last part boundary separator is both prefixed and postfixed with two dashes.
