Hi i'm currently trying to make a kibana api call using pascal however i'm not sure how to convert the CURL request. This curl request is working from command prompt.

curl -X POST "localhost:5601/api/saved\_objects/\_import?createNewCopies=true" -H "kbn-xsrf: true" --form file=@export.ndjson

However when I try to make an http request with pascal its returning an error, I don't know how to use the --form through code. The method should be similar with other http requests as well so I was wondering in anyone know how to do it.

Thanks!

`api/saved_objects/_import` expects `multipart/form-data` content type.

I've never worked with Pascal, but I'm sure there is an HTTP client with form `multipart/form-data` support. I found several code snippets [here](https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=47220.0)
