Recently at my customer’s site, I started using XebiaLabs product called XL Deploy. It is a software solution that helps automating the deployment process. Many operations are exposed via a REST API. Uploading of packages is one of them and is done following the Multipart/form-data standard. In case you need to do so, via PowerShell, you may be surprised about the difficulty of something that appears to be a trivial task. As you may know, PowerShell doesn’t play well with Multipart/form-data requests. I will show you a cmdlet that I wrote that can be handy in accomplishing this task.
