Hi! 

I try to update the attachment in a document. But the server returns an error 400. I send the request:

PATCH http://servername/prodoc/projects/ob+6.nsf/api/data/documents/unid/DE3B5CD79A8DE3BEC3257DB60023481C?computewithform=true

        },
        {

            "boundary":"--1__=4CBBF75EDFB8107C8f9e8a93df938690918c4CBBF75EDFB8107C"
        },
        {
            "contentType":"image/vnd.dwg; name="Drawing12.dwg"",
            "contentID":"<1__=4CBBF75EDFB8107C8f9e8a93df93869091@local>",
            "contentDisposition":"attachment; filename="Drawing12.dwg"",
            "contentTransferEncoding":"base64",
            "data":"<data>",
            "boundary":"--0__=4CBBF75EDFB8107C8f9e8a93df938690918c4CBBF75EDFB8107C"
        }
    ]
    }
}

What could be the problem? Or what am I doing wrong?

I would be grateful for your help.

Unbalanced quotes in the JSON input ...
I was able to reproduce the problem with a variation of your input.  To fix it I escaped the quotes surrounding the file name.  See the bold text below:

        {
            "contentType":"image/vnd.dwg; name=\"Drawing12.dwg\"",
            "contentID":"<1__=4CBBF75EDFB8107C8f9e8a93df93869091@local>",
            "contentDisposition":"attachment; filename=\"Drawing12.dwg\"",
            "data":"<data>",
            "boundary":"--0__=4CBBF75EDFB8107C8f9e8a93df938690918c4CBBF75EDFB8107C"
        }

Hope this helps.
