Posting a File and Associated Data to a RESTful WebService preferably as JSON

Question

This is probably going to be a stupid question but I\'m having one of those nights. In an application I am developing RESTful API and we want the client to send data as JSON

Please ensure that you have following import. Ofcourse other standard imports

import org.springframework.core.io.FileSystemResource


    void uploadzipFiles(String token) {

        RestBuilder rest = new RestBuilder(connectTimeout:10000, readTimeout:20000)

        def zipFile = new File("testdata.zip")
        def Id = "001G00000"
        MultiValueMap form = new LinkedMultiValueMap()
        form.add("id", id)
        form.add('file',new FileSystemResource(zipFile))
        def urld ='''http://URL''';
        def resp = rest.post(urld) {
            header('X-Auth-Token', clientSecret)
            contentType "multipart/form-data"
            body(form)
        }
        println "resp::"+resp
        println "resp::"+resp.text
        println "resp::"+resp.headers
        println "resp::"+resp.body
        println "resp::"+resp.status
    }
