Description

When I have filepicker format selected as binary, I cannot upload multi media file using Content type octet stream.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Drag a file picker to canvas, set file format to binary
2. Create a new API with dropbox upload file as URI, set all required headers and set body to binary with {{Filepicker1.files[0]}}
3. Run the API
4. Observe the uploaded file is corrupted if we try to upload image/pdf/video

Tried multiple backend solutions for handling binary data since the last 2 days but the file uploaded is still corrupted.
The next steps are:

• Add the code for storing the pdf file from the client and server at different steps to figure out at what step the file is getting corrupted.
• This will also help us figure out, if it is a client side parsing problem or server side.
