curl command line help for File upload

Question

I have a Jersey based REST API and its signature looks like this

@POST
    @Path("{businessId}/logo/add/")
    @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response uploadLogo(
        @PathParam("businessId") String businessId,
        FormDataMultiPart form
    ) {
......

I tried several curl command lines in order to try to upload an image file using the REST api. But i cant seem to make it work. I am getting 415. I understand 415 error code, but i cant figure out whats going on. Content-Type in my request is correct ( multipart/form-data )

curl -i -X POST -F "imageFile=./image.jpg" http://myserver.com:8080/admin/02D0828864100000000B28C545B728F4/icon/add -v

have you tried with the content type

curl -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" -i -X POST -F "imageFile=./image.jpg" http://myserver.com:8080/admin/02D0828864100000000B28C545B728F4/icon/add -v
