I have an API interaction that is receiving an application/octet-stream that provides a URL for said data.

I would like to now POST that data somewhere, how do I achieve that with the HTTP connector in Power Automate?

In my example I'm using DropBox's API, but this could be any API.

I have requested a file using their Temporary Link request, and I am now wanting to uploading it to DropBox (which, again, could be anywhere) and have been given an upload slot using their Temporary Upload Link request.

All I now need to do is send the data on the provided URL to the URL that they have given me. How do I post data using Power Automate?

I might have a lead in an unrelated StartPage search, if it pans out, I'll post the answer here.

EDIT - It wasn't what I thought ... I tried this in the body and it just created a file with that text in the destination. Grah

{
 "content": "https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitl/1/OBFUSCATED1-AA-111-OBFUSC_ATED2-OBFUSCATED3-OBFUSCATED4-bbb-OBFUSCATED5-OBFUSCATED6"
}

EDIT 2 - Do I need to fully form the JSON message in the body section?

So, for example, I have a URI that is bespoke each time, but here's a made up example:

https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitul/1/MadEUpURi228xJJJ

I've got the header for Content-Type set as:

application/octet-stream

I just don't know how I push the data from the URL previously fake listed, so now I'm wondering if I need to mess with the JSON itself and create it from scratch. There's a few posts about creating it and putting the Content-Type in the Body with a dollar symbol ... Is that the direction?

Should I be doing something with:
