Deploying a model in postman with Content-Type: multipart/form-data returns the following response:
{
"type": "RestException",
"message": "multipart/form-data cannot be processed"
}
The request configuration is as follows …
POST : http://localhost:8080/engine-rest/deployment/create
Headers tab:
- key: Content-Type value: multipart/form-data
Body tab:
- Form contenty type selected: form-data
- key (File): file value: [Choose file] (browse .bpmn file)
- key (Text): deployment-name value: TestDeployment

}
]
},

},
"response": []
}
]
}
If the variable Content-Type is removed from the Headers the deployment is successful:

Several posts indicate that the Content-Type should be form-data to do the deployment, is this correct? and if so, why it is not working in postman?
