Answer 1

The server response is pretty much self-explanatory, you're not allowed to make POST requests to that URL, only GET, HEAD, OPTION and TRACE ones.

Why just not to record your test scenario using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and modify the resulting test "skeleton" as required?

If you are still eager to build your scenario manually,looking into the http://revflexsit.azurewebsites.net/ site, it seems correct request will look something like:

• Path: /api/TesterProfile/UploadTesterProfile?Id=${YOUR_ID_HERE}&UpdateAdminId=0&dimensions=x,y,x,y

• Files Upload:

  • File Path: full path to image, you're trying to upload
  • Parameter Name: profileUploadPhoto
  • MIME Type: relevant photo MIME Type

Don't forget to tick "Use multipart/form-data for POST" box.
