Graph API small file upload success but docx won't open in browser, error in desktop app

2022-04-06T01:10:49.323+00:00

Hi, I am using Zoho Deluge to download a file from Box using Box API then upload to Sharepoint using Graph API.

The file uploads but gets corrupted. Works fine in Postman using Binary body option.

In word online I get:

And in desktop Word:

This is the script I've written. The Graph response looks normal:

// Upload file to Sharepoint
graph_header = Map();
graph_header.put("Authorization","Bearer " + graph_access_token);
graph_header.put("Content-Type","octet-stream");
graph_body = Map();
graph_body.put("file",new_box_file);
graph_upload_file = invokeurl
[
url :"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/b!cBfsvaQVPlqf5An1C82RbwVjjG22-Qo9S4bs-PPMe/items/root:/" + file_name + ":/content"
type :PUT
parameters:graph_body
headers:graph_header
];
info graph_upload_file;

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    OP here on a different account.

    Been working on this without success and think I have a breakthrough.

    Summary of issues:

    MS Graph small file upload works but file is corrupted.

    MS Graph resumable large file upload errors out (no code) if I add Content-Length header. If I miss it out, I get response from Graph that header is missing.

    I realised there is one casue for all this. Deluge invokeurl function is inserting a header and footer in to the byte stream. When I remove that after upload, the file opens normally.

    59 bytes at the beginning:

    --kH7EE3nxZTAn4hcySXH7cXXpau29ZC70XTWLHl
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="content"; filename="Isabelle blank prescription.docx"
    Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary

    46 bytes at the end:

    --kH7EE3nxZTAn4hcySXH7cXXpau29ZC70XTWLHl--

    This is why it works fine in Postman but not Zoho Deluge. I'm unsure how to proceed but seems its a fault in Deluge. However I have now seen this is a problem on other platforms.

    Any ideas would be welcome!
