Can you please write a small Nodejs client and test it. This is to rule out if something specific to postman.

The code below is a sample Nodejs client.

client.js //run it as node client

const fs = require('fs');
const axios = require('axios');
const FormData = require('form-data');

const formdata = new FormData();

// adding the file
formdata.append('avatar', fs.createReadStream('./avatar.jpg'));

axios
  .post('http://localhost:3000/post', formdata)
  .then((data) => {
    console.log(data.data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });
