# Uploading Media Assets

When uploading media to the oversight platform through signed urls, it is crucial to ensure that the `Content-Type` header is included in your request. This header specifies the media type of the resource being uploaded, which helps the oversight platform understand how to process the file.

## Sample Request

Below is a sample `curl` request to upload a media file. Make sure to include the `Content-Type` header in your request with the correct type.

```sh
curl --location --request PUT '{signed_url}' \
--header 'Content-Type: image/jpeg' \
--data-binary '@{file-location}'
```

## Other Content Types

Here are some examples of other `Content-Type` headers you might use depending on the type of file you are uploading:

* For a PNG image:

  ```sh
  --header 'Content-Type: image/png'
  ```
* For a PDF document:

  ```sh
  --header 'Content-Type: application/pdf'
  ```
* For an MP4 video file:

  ```sh
  --header 'Content-Type: video/mp4'
  ```
* For a plain text file:

  ```sh
  --header 'Content-Type: text/plain'
  ```

Always ensure that the `Content-Type` header is included and correctly set to the media type of the file you are uploading.
