How to send a video via POST?

Navigation
3

I have an application that is being written in Node.js and using Electron, I need to send a video in mp4 format via POST to the server. How can I do this?

EDIT 1:

In the application, I use FFmpeg to create a five minute video from the webcam. I need to send this video to the server using a POST request, what I want to know is if there is a way to send this file using this request. Be it directly, encoding it somehow, transforming into binary or otherwise whatever.

Use the request module to perform the operation, and createReadStream to read the local file in binary mode: 

    const request = require("request");

    request({
            method: "POST",
            url: "http://www.servidor.com/upload",
            formData: { 
                       upload_type: "txt", 
                       file: fs.createReadStream("/folder/arquivo.txt") }
        },
        function(err, response, body) { console.log(err, response, body) });
