Face-Recon: 400 - no valid image file found

[seb2010]

Hello,

I am on Debian Bookworm Linux and running a node.js 18 environment. DeepStack is running as a docker container. I do have issue to reliably send images to the end-point via post-request. No matter what library I try to send the post-data to the recognize-API, I either get a timeout or a 400 - "no valid image file found". What is the issue here?

Can you describe what exact headers and Content there is expected and what I am doing wrong?

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

var image_stream = fs.createReadStream('./somefile.jpg')
var form = new FormData()
form.append('image', image_stream);
axios({
    method: "post",
    url: "http://192.168.178.46:666/v1/vision/face/recognize",
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'},
    data: form,
    timeout: 1000
}).then(function (response) {
   // do some stuff with the response
}).catch(function(error){log(error)})

Hope you can help here. KR SEB

Form data preparation caused some headache because of the various and differing methods how to read local files and remote files and to prepare the payload... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78789251/cannot-post-image-as-a-form-payload-element-to-node-js-api/78795026#78795026
