docker docs don't work for reformat endpoint

FinCEN Version: 0.3.6

What were you trying to do?

• learn the repo by running through the docs

What did you expect to see?

from the docs:

Reformat the file with generated attributes:

curl -X POST --data-binary "@./data/samples/ctr_batch.txt" http://localhost:8088/reformat

<EFilingBatchXML ActivityCount="1" TotalAmount="47000" PartyCount="6" SeqNum="1"
                     xsi:schemaLocation="www.fincen.gov/base https://www.fincen.gov/base https://www.fincen.gov/base/EFL_8300XBatchSchema.xsd"
                     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                     xmlns:fc2="www.fincen.gov/base">
    <Activity SeqNum="1">

What did you see?

• no text file in data/samples
• even when i supplied my own dummy data, i still had to change the localhost from 8088 to 8206

How can we reproduce the problem?

• run the commands in the docs
• run my python code that seems to get a valid response

import requests
import json
import io

url = "http://localhost:8206/reformat"

data = {
    "SeqNum": 123,
    "StatusCode": "OK",
    "TotalAmount": 100.0,
    "PartyCount": 1,
    "ActivityCount": 1,
    "AccountCount": 1,
    "ActivityAttachmentCount": 1,
    "AttachmentCount": 1,
    "JointlyOwnedOwnerCount": 1,
    "NoFIOwnerCount": 1,
    "ConsolidatedOwnerCount": 1,
    "FormTypeCode": "FTC",
    "Activity": [],
    "EFilingSubmissionXML": {"SubmissionType": "ST", "SubmissionDate": "2022-01-01"}
}

data_json = json.dumps(data)

data_file = io.StringIO(data_json)

files = { 'input': ('data.json', data_file, 'application/json') }
response = requests.post(url, files=files)
print(response.text)

<EFilingBatchXML SeqNum="123" StatusCode="OK" TotalAmount="100" PartyCount="1" ActivityCount="1" AccountCount="1" ActivityAttachmentCount="1" AttachmentCount="1" JointlyOwnedOwnerCount="1" NoFIOwnerCount="1" ConsolidatedOwnerCount="1"><fc2:FormTypeCode>FTC</fc2:FormTypeCode><EFilingSubmissionXML SeqNum="0"></EFilingSubmissionXML></EFilingBatchXML>

A couple of years late, but try this format instead:

curl -X POST -F "input=@./data/samples/ctr_batch.txt" http://localhost:8088/reformat

I was able to get this working using the above format instead of --data-binary
