Hi Team, 

I need to send a text file as an attachment to a post call, which is the only request data. Please let me know how can I send this via a REST step (POST call) in devtest. Also, kindly let me know if there are any other alternative steps for it. 

In postman we have a section called 'form-data', where I can upload the text file and hit the POST url and get back the response. Please let me know how can I achieve this using Devtest.

Thanks!

HTTP/HTML Step has the Form built in using POST Parameters.Form Encoding: application/x-www-form-urlencoded  ( instead of multipart/form-data )
