Comment:

 Hi @tiger42, and thanks for the report. I don't think this is a bug in the
 code, although we might be missing some documentation here.

 How are you sending the file to the REST API? There are two ways you can
 pass files to the API:

 1. Send the file's data in the request body (raw mode). This also requires
 setting the Content-Disposition header to pass the filename.
 2. Send the file in multipart mode (upload mode). This needs to be passed
 via the `file` parameter in a `multipart/form-data` request.

 It appears that you're using upload mode here, but not setting the
 parameter name to `file`.
