I had issues with file upload in box using the example provided in the documentation. I have a working solution now. My working solution uses a different url than the one provided in the document. Is the "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/content" url for uploading a file incorrect or broken? 


This is the example provided in the documentation: 


curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/content" -H "Authorization: Bearer REPLACE-WITH-BEARER-TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F attributes='{"name":"Contract.pdf", "parent":{"id":"REPLACE-WITH-FOLDERID"}}' -F file=@/Contract.pdf


 


This is the code that works: 


curl -X POST https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content -H "Authorization: Bearer REPLACE-WITH-BEARER-TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F attributes='{"name":"Contract.pdf", "parent":{"id":"REPLACE-WITH-FOLDERID"}}' -F file=@Contract.pdf

Hi there,


Our apologies, you're absolutely correct in that there was a mistake in the cURL samples of the documentation. I went ahead and adjusted the cURL samples to use the correct URI (upload.box.com).
