$CurlExecutable = "C:\Delphix\curl.exe"
$CurlArguments = '-l',
$url,
'--header', """content-type: multipart/form-data""",
'--header', """Authorization: ab2aac30-91b3-4790-8fda-80970dbadf33""",
'--form', "fileFormat=@e:\Tools\Powershell\Delphix\Masking\FileFormats\BS_REC00002_CSV.FF",
'--form', "fileFormatType=DELIMITED" ,
'-s'
@(& $CurlExecutable @CurlArguments)
And thats Work, but i would like to convert it to invoke-restmethod (to get rid of curl)
