I have a Spring MVC and Resteasy based REST service that i need to test by sending a multipart/mixed request.

The service is coded as follows:

@POST
    @Path("/mixedMimeText")
    @Consumes("multipart/mixed")
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
    public String createMime(@Context ServletContext servletContext, MultipartInput input) throws Exception, IOException {

        logger.info("Processing /mixedMimeText");

        for(InputPart p : input.getParts()){
            logger.info("Headers : " + p.getHeaders());
            logger.info("MediaType : " + p.getMediaType());
            logger.info("Body : " +  p.getBodyAsString());
            logger.info("--------------------------------------------------- ");
        }

        return "TEST";
    }

I am using the following file to send as the multipart mime content

--ABC123Boundary
Content-Type: text/xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<request>
<account-id>XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX</account-id>
<reference>12345</reference>
<app-name>XXXXXXXXX</app-name>
<information>
<calling-party>
<name>Joe Bloggs</name>
<identifier>441234567890</identifier>
</calling-party>
<called-party>
<name>John Smith</name>
<identifier>15551234567</identifier>
</called-party>
</information>
</request>

--ABC123Boundary
Content-Type: text/xml

<snip>
//+f//////2f/////////5//n//////////9n

--ABC123Boundary--

I am sending the request using the curl client with the following command:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/MyRestServices/restportal/services/mixedMimeText -i -H "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="--ABC123Boundary" -T myfile.txt

The request does get to the service but all i see on the JBOSS terminal is that it produces the following error which does not really make sense. There is no stack trace or any other errors.

21:48:37,174 WARN  [org.apache.james.mime4j.parser.MimeEntity] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-1) Unexpected end of headers detected. Higher level boundary detected or EOF reached.
21:48:37,175 WARN  [org.apache.james.mime4j.parser.MimeEntity] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-1) Invalid header encountered
21:48:37,176 WARN  [org.apache.james.mime4j.parser.MimeEntity] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-1) Body part ended prematurely. Boundary detected in header or EOF reached.

It sounds like there is something wrong with the content but i am not quite sure.
