curl -L -X PUT 'http://localhost/api/2.0/files/file/5/saveediting' \

  "forcesave": true
}'

I executed the command to store the file, but when I opened the file, its content had turned into the parameter I passed. It didn’t store the file correctly.

public boolean saveFile(int fileId, String token, String downloadUri) throws Exception {
        String url = BASE_URL + "/api/2.0/files/file/" + fileId + "/saveediting";

        CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.createDefault();
        HttpPut httpPut = new HttpPut(url);

        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
        jsonObject.put("downloadUri", downloadUri);
        jsonObject.put("forcesave", true);

        StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(jsonObject.toString(), "UTF-8");
        entity.setContentType("application/json");
        httpPut.setEntity(entity);
        httpPut.setHeader("Authorization", token);
        HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPut);
        String responseString = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
        System.out.println(responseString);

        return response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200;

    }

The result of executing this Java code is also incorrect.
