Could you provide an example for this? Or know of a website that I can use to 
try it out?

Here is my scenario,

I have a form (consider it's like user registration form) where i can enter 
details like
username(String),address(String),photo(octetSteam/inputstream).

for this i can able to 'post' multipart/form-data like as follows using Rest 
assure

File photoFile = new File("test.jpg");
given().multiPart("username", "TestUser").multiPart("photo", 
"testAddress").when().post("/user");

Following are the my scenarios to test
1) To get user details i have a rest API like GET '/user/{userId}' which gives 
user data interms of 'multipart/form-data' 
2) To update only photo rest api PUT '/user/{userID}/photo' which accepts 
'application/octet-stream'
3) After updating i want to GET '/user/{userID}/photo' which give 
'application/octet-stream' 
    so that i can verify whether previous PUT is updated my 'photo' or not?

How i can use Rest assure to test above 3 cases?

thanks in advance

And what error do you get? 2nd and 3rd should work with RA.

here is my sample code
1)InputStream is1 = given().get("/user/{useId}/photo", 123).asInputStream();
2)given().contentType("application/octet-stream").content(IOUtils.toByteArray(is
1)).put("/user/{useId}/photo", 123);
here 1) is working fine (i have verified this inputStream by saving in local 
file system.but in 2)line it's saving 0KB.
after these 2 statements,i can see a file with 0KB.

Oh so (1) actually works? Are you having issues with the uploading part? Are 
you sure that you shouldn't use multi-part form data uploading for the PUT 
requests as well?

in comment-8 i have discussed about issue (2) mentioned in comment-3.

But you still have problems with (1)? Or is (1) the root of the problem? Is 
IOUtils.toByteArray(..) returning a valid byte-array?

What version of REST Assured are you using?
