In a helper script I use to push files to gitlab, I do use this code:

Basically, you do not need o add_field/2, but only add_file/2. :name has to be the name of the target-field, not of the file.

In your curl example you aren’t specifiying a name as well… @ reads the file and sends the content properly encoded.

I also need to set the parameter certificate on the file being uploaded, not sure, but i feel that is where ia ma failing

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
url	String	Yes	HTTPS url to send updates to. Use an empty string to remove webhook integration
certificate	InputFile	Optional	Upload your public key certificate so that the root certificate in use can be checked. See our self-signed guide for details.

This curl should translate into this tesla request (I’ll take your placeholders literally):

body =
  Tesla.MultiPart.new
  |> MultiPart.add_field("url", "https://<YOURDOMAIN.EXAMPLE>/<WEBHOOKLOCATION>")
  |> MultiPart.add_file("<YOURCERTIFICATE>.pem", name: :certificate, filename: "<YOURCERTIFICATE>.pem") # but `:filename` actually defaults to this…

Tesla.post("https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOURTOKEN>/setWebhook", body)

no luck,

I do not know the telegram API, all I can tell you is, that from what I can tell both requests should be equivalent.

@NobbZ it only works when i use regular browser upload, like here https://paperlesssolutionsltd.com.ng/bots.htm

Maybe Tesla is not generating multi-part output like a browser would

Maybe browser sends some automatic header, like content type, that you don’t? Can you inspect the request in your browsers tool?

Or paste a --verbose curls output here? (sanitized of course!) Then we can compare headers actually sent.

It works now.

Tesla actually works fine.

setting these two affects the post method, should have used Tesla.post instead

plug(Tesla.Middleware.Headers, [{"content-type", "application/json"}])
plug(Tesla.Middleware.BaseUrl, "https://api.telegram.org/")

body =
        Multipart.new()
        |> Multipart.add_field("max_connections", "100")
        |> Multipart.add_field("url", "https://173.233.70.70:#{port}/bots/#{token}")
        |> Multipart.add_file(file, name: :certificate, filename: name)

      x = Tesla.post("https://api.telegram.org/bot#{token}/setWebhook", body)

Thanks
