Curl POST to CakePHP Form
This is what is working with curl
#!/bin/sh
printer=10
curl --form _method=POST \
--form 'data[PrintLabel][upload]'=@./ASN_R-34718415X-batch.xml \
--form 'data[PrintLabel][action]'=print \
--form 'data[PrintLabel][printer]'=${printer} \

Powershell (version 5.x) POST to CakePHP Form
Important!: The following doesn't work on Powershell 7
If the file is named powershellPost.ps1 run it as follows:
powershell.exe powershellPost.ps1
$FilePath = "$($pwd)\ASN_R-34718415X-batch.xml";
$URL = 'http://10.197.3.190:8093/100pbc/PrintLabels/xmlToPdf';
$fileBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($FilePath);
$fileEnc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding('ISO-8859-1').GetString($fileBytes);
$boundary = [System.Guid]::NewGuid().ToString();
$LF = "`r`n";
$bodyLines = (
"--$boundary",
"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=`"_method`"",
"",
"POST",
"--$boundary",
"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=`"data[PrintLabel][printer]`"",
"",
10,
"--$boundary",
"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=`"data[PrintLabel][upload]`"; filename=`"hijames.txt`"",
"Content-Type: application/octet-stream",
"",
$fileEnc,
"--$boundary",
"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=`"data[PrintLabel][action]`"$LF",
"print",
"--$boundary--$LF"
) -join $LF
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $URL -Method Post -ContentType "multipart/form-data; boundary=`"$boundary`"" -Body $bodyLines
