401 unauthorized when uploading document

[achraf13]

I want to upload file using aflresco restApi
this is my function 

const formData = new FormData();

  formData.append('filedata',file);

  const newheaders = new HttpHeaders().set('Authorization', 'Basic '+token);

  const uri = `http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/-my-/children`;

  console.log("this is token before Uploading"+token);

  const req = new HttpRequest('POST', uri, formData, {

    headers: newheaders,

    reportProgress: true,

    responseType: 'json'

  });

  return this.http.request(req); 

the token before uploading is valid ; it's tested with postman

Hi, 

If you are using a JWT token, you should change "Basic " to "Bearer ". If you can execute this same call through Postman, then I think you should check your HttpRequest and formData objects.

Hope this helps

i used a different identity provider , excluding the alfresco url  solved  the problem!
