Impossible to add attachements to Jira issues via API

[Antoine [Klee Group]]

Hello,
I am trying to upload an attachment to a Jira issue using the REST API using a third party tool, as the server documentation does not provide the method to perform this action, I used the cloud method which works fine on a separate instance.
https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-issue-attachments/#api-rest-api-2-issue-issueidorkey-attachments-post

I receive a 200 response but an empty json.

Here is the sent HTTP request:

POST
https://myserverinstance/rest/api/2/issue/CN105TC-307/attachments
HTTPS/1.1
Authorization: Basic amlyYWl2YWxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Accept: application/json
X-Atlassian-Token: no-check
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------8dc01469ad1d7bf

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="VPN.png"; filename="VPN.png"
Content-Type: image/png

< binary_file>
-----------------------------8dc01469ad1d7bf--

AND the response from Jira.

Of course the attachment does not upload on the issue.

What could be the cause of the attachment not uploading and of that weird response?

Best.

Hi @Antoine [Klee Group] 

This server version doc should help.
