I am trying to import a saved dashboard into Elasticsearch using HttpURLConnection.

I can successfully execute the following taken from the saved objects api example in Elasticsearch documentation.

$ curl -X POST api/saved\_objects/\_import?createNewCopies=true -H "kbn-xsrf: true" --form file=@file.ndjson (with appropriate changes to url for my host)

But I cannot manage to do the same in java code with a POST using HttpURLConnection.

Can any give me an example of how to do what above curl command does in java.

Thanks for you help.
