When importing a channel via the api linefeeds get lost in all scripts

[Loki-Afro]

When exporting a channel through the ui and then importing it via the api by using curl for example the line feeds get lost.

Just to make things clear: that happens to every line of code and breaks a lot of things

example curl

        curl --insecure \
                -X POST \
                -H  "accept: application/json" \
                -H  "Content-Type: application/xml" \
                "https://localhost:8443/api/channels" \
                -d "@$channel_file"

relevant part in this example:

....
  <preprocessingScript>// Modify the message variable below to pre process data
return message;</preprocessingScript>
  <postprocessingScript>// This script executes once after a message has been processed
// Responses returned from here will be stored as &quot;Postprocessor&quot; in the response map
return;</postprocessingScript>
....

before export:

after import via api:

This happens because a different deserialization process happens when it comes directly via the api.

Is there any known workaround or fix available?

Try using --data-binary "@$channel_file" instead of -d "@$channel_file"
