"Unsupported Media Type" when trying to upload a zip file to a Confluence page using Rest Api

Question

I'm trying to upload a zip file to a Confluence page with a axios.post and I'm getting "Unsupported Media Type" error. I'm following the instructions from Atlassian Development REST API documentation. Does anyone know why I'm having this issue? Any help is appreciated, thanks! This is my code:

axios.post('http://example.com/rest/api/content/1234/child/attachment
', {

file: "filepath/namefile.zip",
comment: "comment to file"

}, {

headers: {

"X-Atlassian-Token": "no-check",

"Content-Type": "application/zip",

},

auth: { username: "user@user", password: "passwordToken" }

})

.then(res => {

console.log(res)

})

.catch(error => {

console.error(error)

})

Hi @Fabian Lim I tried with: "Content-Type: application/zip" and got the same error, then I tried with: 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data' And got the following error: data: { statusCode: 500, message: 'java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found' }
