New _uploadPhoto method (development help wanted)

Summary

Endpoint for _uploadPhoto was changed, but I’m not able to fix it by myself.

🔥 HELP WANTED! 🔥

New method development

According to new photo upload requests code should look like this:

  async _uploadPhoto({ photo }) {
    const uploadId = new Date().getTime();
    return this.request.post(`/rupload_igphoto/fb_uploader_${uploadId}`, {
      headers: {
        'x-instagram-rupload-params': JSON.stringify({
          'media_type':1,
          'upload_id': uploadId.toString(),
          'upload_media_height': 1800,
          'upload_media_width': 1800
        }),
        'x-entity-name': `fb_uploader_${uploadId}`,
        'x-ig-app-id': 1217981644879628,
        'x-entity-length': fs.statSync(photo).size,
        'content-type': 'image/jpeg',
        'referer': 'https://www.instagram.com/create/details/',
        'offset': '0',
        'x-instagram-ajax': 'f4c28142cf13'
      },
      // body: fs.readFileSync(photo).toString('utf8')
      body: fs.createReadStream(photo)
    })
  }

Uploading images from web was removed by me.

This method is returning two types of errors.

Type one:

{ debug_info: 
   { retriable: true,
     type: 'PartialRequestError',
     message: 'Partial request (did not match length of file)' } }

Error appearing with: body: fs.createReadStream(photo)

Type two: Using body: fs.readFileSync(photo).toString('utf8') upload is succesful:

{ upload_id: '1558814131153', xsharing_nonces: {}, status: 'ok' }

But, requesting /create/configure/ failing:

{ message: 'media_needs_reupload',
  media: 
   { upload_id: '1558814131153',
     device_timestamp: '1558814131153' },
  error_title: 'bad image input extra:{}',
  status: 'ok' }
