I am struggeling very hard with a Javascript under Node-js, which should read a file from disk and post it via a post-request to DeepStack Facial Recognition system to do something with it.

I currently always receive a 400 Code –> “No valid image file found”

I think it might have to do with the file not beeing transported via Axios as the post-payload.

The following code I am using:

    var image_stream = fs.createReadStream('./somefile.jpg')
    var form = new FormData()
    form.append('image', image_stream);
    axios({
        method: "post",
        url: "http://192.168.178.46:666/v1/vision/face/recognize",
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'},
        data: form,
        timeout: 1000
    }).then(function (response) {
       // do some stuff with the response
    }).catch(function(error){log(error)})

Neither createReadStream nor ReadFileSync is working here and also everything I have tried with the header and the form-data was not working.
I also tried fetch and other packages to send the data, but no luck.

Can you help me here with advice?
