I am trying to use the POST api/admin/v1/workflows/ API to send a workflow to our company gallery. I am creating the request in Python (for a custom tool) so I can implement this capability into an Alteryx workflow. When I run the Python code I get a 500 response with an UnknownException. The gallery log gives me a stack trace that looks like this:
2019-05-17 14:00:33.684786,ERROR,197,ErrorHandler,HandleError,,,,,,,,,,Exception caught by ErrorHandler and marshalled to client,"Ionic.Zip.BadReadException: ZipEntry::ReadHeader(): Bad signature (0x6D783F3C) at position 0x00000000-> at Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.ReadHeader(ZipEntry ze, Encoding defaultEncoding)-> at Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.ReadEntry(ZipContainer zc, Boolean first)-> at Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ReadIntoInstance_Orig(ZipFile zf)-> at Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ReadIntoInstance(ZipFile zf)-> at Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Read(String fileName, TextWriter statusMessageWriter, Encoding encoding, EventHandler`1 readProgress)-> at DotNetZipCompression.CompressionEngine.GetArchiveComment(String archiveFile)-> at Alteryx.Cloud.Engine.AppEngine.GetWorkflowsFromPackage(String packageFile)-> at Alteryx.Cloud.Models.Presenters.AdminApiPresenter.PublishApp(AppFileInfo fileInfo, ExecutionModeType runMode, Int32 validationPriority, String requestId)-> at Alteryx.Cloud.Models.Presenters.AdminApiPresenter.<PublishAppAsync>d__24.MoveNext()->--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ----> at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()-> at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)-> at Alteryx.Cloud.Server.Services.Api.AdminApiServiceV1.<PublishYxzp>d__10.MoveNext()->--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ----> at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()-> at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)-> at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.TaskMethodInvoker.<InvokeAsync>d__16.MoveNext()->--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ----> at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()-> at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)-> at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.TaskMethodInvoker.InvokeEnd(Object instance, Object[]& outputs, IAsyncResult result)-> at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.DispatchOperationRuntime.InvokeEnd(MessageRpc& rpc)-> at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ImmutableDispatchRuntime.ProcessMessage7(MessageRpc& rpc)-> at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.MessageRpc.Process(Boolean isOperationContextSet)"
The python HTTP request is being made to the following URL:
http://my_gallery_address/api/admin/v1/workflows/?oauth_timestamp=1558456741&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_consumer_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&oauth_version=1.0&oauth_nonce=000000&oauth_signature=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The headers in the request look like this:
{'User-Agent': 'python-requests/2.21.0', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate', 'Accept': '*/*', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Content-Length': '2807', 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=d1062b6b42d7777ea9f33c8329d169f9'}
The body of the request looks like this:

At this point, I cannot determine whether the error is caused by an issue with my request or something wrong on the Alteryx side. I suspect the former, but have no clue how to fix it. Does anyone have experience hitting this particular API and how the request needs to be formatted? The code for my custom tool is attached - it works when I target some of the GET APIs, but not this POST API.
