Hello, I've fixed this issue!

This is what I've done: I have identified the issue in the HttpService class where the post method's signature was changed, making the data parameter mandatory. This was indeed a breaking change. To fix this, I've updated the post method to maintain backwards compatibility by making the data parameter optional again. I've also applied the same fix to the put and patch methods for consistency.

I also created pull request: https://github.com/nestjs/axios/pull/1243
