Sending formData to /server with files and parsing body
Hi there,
I'm tying to send a file from browser to /server
/api so that I can inject some header information server side and proxy that request to an external API, however the request always gets corrupted in the process. I can hit the external api fine so I know it's somewhere in the defineEventHandler() function. I have a feeling that it might be to do with the readBody() method but I've tried both readRawBody() and readMultipartFormData() and neither work. Basically I just want to pass the formData from the Request straight into another $fetch within the server route without changing the data.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

Have you tried to send the image data as base64 to the server? Then, you could convert the base64 into a buffer and store it somewhere on the server.
To convert the base64 image data to a buffer, I have used this package https://www.npmjs.com/package/data-uri-to-buffer
