Haystack: How can I use "File Upload" in rest api?

To author:
I have tried your new version of RestAPI. When I upload the text file, it always respond "null". Other than that, I just saw a new file uploaded to Elasticsearch? Is that correct?

Hello,
I am having some trouble as well on this "file-upload" endpoint. I have a different output though :

I am using the latest version of the master branch. The only change I did is in the docker-compose.yml file, using the "raw" elasticsearch image as such:
yml elasticsearch: image: "elasticsearch:7.6.1" ports: - 9200:9200 environment: - discovery.type=single-node

Note: it works fin while going through the tutorials with ipython.
Note 2 : I use a text from thw GOT corpus called "blood of my blood" => the text should not be the problem I believe

Hi @laifuchicago and @guillim,

A response message is now added when a file upload is successful(#195).

The file upload uses a HTTP POST with multipart/form-data enctype. For that, the python-multipart dependency was missing that might have caused HTTP 400 {"detail":"There was an error parsing the body"} error. The dependency is now updated in the requirements.txt by #195.
