I'm trying to create an HTTP entity for a POST request that looks like the one listed as part of the contextIO API listed here:
http://context.io/docs/2.0/accounts/messages#post
From their docs, they give the following example:
POST /2.0/accounts/4f01234567890abcdef09876/messages/ HTTP/1.1
Host: api.context.io
Accept: */*
Authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key="abcdef1234",oauth_version="1.0",oauth_timestamp="1327695986",oauth_nonce="6dPrHNDrx5hzfHkn",oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",oauth_signature="MFOyvf5Ykcsn7une48kGW0Aharw%3D"
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------someRandomBoundary
Content-Length: 1917
--------someRandomBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="dst_folder"
testFolder
--------someRandomBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="message"; filename="message.eml"
Content-Type: message/rfc822

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Yo! This is a test multi-part message.

I've tried to do this using:
HttpEntity entity = MultipartEntityBuilder.create()
.addBinaryBody("message", messageSource.getBytes(), ContentType.create("message/rfc822"), "message.eml")
.addTextBody("dst_folder", label)
.addTextBody("dst_source", "0")
.build();
But I can't seem to wrap the whole thing in a multipart/form-data section. Any ideas how to create this request using the Apache HTTP Client?
Try adding this after:
I also see they use OAuth, and the nasty kind (1.0). Calculating an OAuth 1.0 signature is very tedious. You will find it much easier to use an OAuth library to make the requests.
