Send Web Request is not able to use file paths. However, since this is a server workflow you can use the Read File activity to do that.

If the file contents is JSON, then you can follow it with the Parse JSON activity.

Dear Ryan Cooney

Thank you for your reply,

What I want is to read the attached file by the end user (.dwg) from the client workflow and read it as an input in the server workflow to run "send we service" activity because there is a uri need to be run as below:

1. take the (.dwg file) as input

2. convert .dwg to json file

But as you mentioned above that the "send web request" activity will not take the path of file as input, so there is no need to write or read the file in the server, that's right?

If yes, that mean I need to put the byte out put of the attached file to be the input of the send web request?

where I can put it in the query or in the form?

Any help will be very appreciated :)

The below screenshots client workflow and the server workflow:

Hi All,

I still have an issue in the send web request which has a variable input file .dwg from the end user which I can't read it as a text but a .dwg as an input for this request, how can I read it from it with the extension ".dwg"

Best,

Here are the enhanced workflows which are worked fine with me but it overwrites the file in the server since I make the server AutoCAD file to be P.dwg which is a parameter of the published workbench

I will be very appreciated if anyone can help me in the below small partition which is:

To put the RESULT OF THE READ FILE activity in SEND WEB REQUEST, I need it in case I have multiple users attach .dwg file in the same time (same minute) which will make different output graphic to one of the two users,

I still can’t use the read file output in the send web request
