"Unable to add char sequence to request body" when using the remote API to start a BPM Suite 6.1 process in Windows

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We are trying to start a process using the remote REST API and send a file content as a process parameter using the following code:

RemoteRestRuntimeEngineFactory restEngineFactory = RemoteRuntimeEngineFactory 
               .newRestBuilder().addDeploymentId(deployment).addUrl(url)
               .addUserName(username).addPassword(password).addTimeout(10000).buildFactory();
KieSession session = restEngineFactory.newRuntimeEngine().getKieSession();
session.startProcess(process, parameters);

However it is failing with the error below. What could be wrong?
