Why are you calling your api upload route from the same back end? Can't you just process the upload by calling function to upload the file?

Upload files using Http client laravel
How can i upload images using http client
Here is my code
Http::attach('attachment', file_get_contents($image), 'image.jpg')
->post(url('api/upload'));
Or
Http::attach(
'attachment',
file_get_contents($image),
'image.jpg',
['Content-type' =>'image/jpg']
) ->post(url('api/upload'));
none of these are working
I have also tried with curl but not working.

@amitsolanki24_ No one can help with “not working”. Please tell us what actually happens.
Also, as @gych says, it’s completely redundant to call your own API from a server-side route. Why are you doing this, instead of just uploading the file using $request->file('attachment')->store() or whatever?

@gych @martinbean I'm doing that because of client want this
Level 29
@amitsolanki24_ Yes but not everything the client wants is the best solution. As a developer you should advise your client on what the best practice is.
And its also not needed to use url() helper when you're calling the route from the same server you can just use the url path.
->post('/api/upload');

@amitsolanki24_ Well tell your client it’s completely redundant to make a HTTP request to their application, just for their application to then start another HTTP request… to itself 🤦♂️

@gych okay thanks for your suggestion 👍 now I will not use url() function again like above for the same server.

@amitsolanki24_ No problem but how did you solve your issue? Did you directly call the function instead of using the Http post ?

@gych when I use Http::get('api/tests') this giving no url dound something
But when I use Http::get(url('api/tests')) Its working correctly
Level 29
@amitsolanki24_ But didn't you call the function directly instead of using the http request?
From where and why are you executing this http request?
For the URL not working, try to add / at the start, like this:
Http::get('/api/tests'))
But again you should just call the function directly instead of using this Http request on the same server.
