Stream to POST, PUT request

Hi is it possible to pipe a stream to POST, PUT request like in request package?

fs.createReadStream('file.json').pipe(request.put('http://mysite.com/obj.json'))

Reference: https://github.com/request/request#streaming

I was able to upload a file read stream using axios by also adding a Content-Length header

const MY_FILE_PATH = 'README.md'
const fs = require('fs')
const axios = require('axios')

const readmeStream = fs.createReadStream(MY_FILE_PATH)
readmeStream.on('error', console.log)
const {size} = fs.statSync(MY_FILE_PATH)

axios({
  method: 'POST',
  url: 'https://uploads.github.com/repos/gr2m/sandbox/releases/8300256/assets?name=README.md',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'text/markdown',
    'Content-Length': size,
    'Authorization': 'token 123reducted'
  },
  data: readmeStream
})

But that might have been a GitHub-specific requirement. I don’t know a different way to test it

I’ve been able to get axios to stream GET -> PUT / POST like so:

GET -> PUT:

const downloadUrl = "https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/73000/73751/world.topo.bathy.200407.3x5400x2700.png";
const uploadUrl = "http://127.0.0.1:8080/file.png";

(async () => {
    const downStream = await axios({
        method: 'GET',
        responseType: 'stream',
        url: downloadUrl,
    })

    const contentType = downStream.headers['content-type']
    const contentLength = downStream.headers['content-length']
    if (contentType === null || contentLength === null) {
        throw new Error("Invalid headers")
    }

    const upStream = await axios({
        method: 'PUT',
        url: uploadUrl,
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': contentType,
            'Content-Length': contentLength
        },
        data: downStream.data
    })
})()

GET -> POST:

import FormData from "form-data";

const downloadUrl = "https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/73000/73751/world.topo.bathy.200407.3x5400x2700.png";
const uploadUrl = "http://localhost:8000/"

(async () => {
    const downStream = await axios({
        method: 'GET',
        responseType: 'stream',
        url: downloadUrl,
    })

    const formData = new FormData()
    formData.append('file', downStream.data)

    const headers = formData.getHeaders()

    const upStream =  await axios({
        method: 'post',
        url: uploadUrl,
        headers: headers,
        data: formData,
        maxContentLength: 1000000000
    })
})()
