Issue/Introduction
When trying to import JIL using Web Services, the following error is displayed:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d @<file_name> https://hostname:port/AEWS/jil -k --user "<user>:<password>" -i
Where <file_name> is a flat file containing a standard JIL definition like this:
update_job: <job_name> job_type: CMD
command: <command>
machine: <machine>
owner: <user>
permission:
Output of curl command:

Environment
AutoSys 12.x Web Services
Cause
The JIL file contents are being interpreted as one long string, rather that having a break between lines.
Resolution
Rather than using the -d @<file_name> option in the curl command, use the --upload-file "<file_name>" option instead, like this:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain" --upload-file "<file_name>" https://hostname:port/AEWS/jil -k --user "<user>:<password>" -i
Here is an example:
$ cat testjob_aews_insert.jil
update_job: testjob_aews job_type: CMD
command: sleep 10
machine: hostname.example.net
owner: autosys
permission:
date_conditions: 0
description: "This is a test job update"
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain" --upload-file "testjob_aews_insert.jil" https://AEWS-hostname.company.com:9443/AEWS/jil -k --user "barcop:<password>" -i

Alternatively, the original curl command with the -d @<file_name> will work successfully but only if you add a leading empty space before each line in the JIL file.
Example with leading empty space highlighted in grey:
update_job: <job_name> job_type: CMD
command: <command>
machine: <machine>
owner: <user>
