Dropbox V2 file upload end point - invalid Content Type - dropbox-cor s-hack

Question

I'm trying to use the V2 end points for file upload. I believe the content headers are set right but I keep getting this error. Can anyone help please ?

const request = require('request');
var fs = require('fs');

var apiArgs = '{ "path" : "/testfolder/Nespresso.zip", "mode" : "add", "autorename" : true, "mute" : false }' ;

var formData = {
    'data-binary': fs.createReadStream("F:\\Nespresso.zip")
};

const options = {
    headers: {
        'Authorization' : 'Bearer ############',
        'Content-Type' : 'application/octet-stream',
        'Dropbox-API-Arg': apiArgs
    },
    formData : formData
};

request.post('https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload', options, function(err, res, body) {
    //let json = JSON.parse(body);
    console.log(body);
    if(res)
    console.log(res.statusCode);

    if(err)
    console.log(err);
});

Error on node :

Error in call to API function "files/upload": Bad HTTP "Content-Type" header: "m ultipart/form-data; boundary=--------------------------298294176382492406791283" . Expecting one of "application/octet-stream", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cor s-hack". 400

Not sure whether data-binary is valid formData property of request configuration object. See https://github.com/request/request#multipartform-data-multipart-form-uploads. What's more, Dropbox requires application/octet-stream type data instead of multipart/form-data as you have provided. How about:

const request = require('request');
var fs = require('fs');

const options = {
    url: 'https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload',
    headers: {
        'Authorization' : 'Bearer ############',
        'Content-Type' : 'application/octet-stream',
        'Dropbox-API-Arg': JSON.stringify({
            'path' : '/package.json'
        })
    }
};

const uploadStream = request.post(options, function(err, res, body) {
    //let json = JSON.parse(body);
    console.log(body);
    if(res)
    console.log(res.statusCode);

    if(err)
    console.log(err);
});

fs.createReadStream('./package.json').pipe(uploadStream);
