Send received file to an axios multipart/form-data request

Question

I want to fetch some data from a server and send it to another server. The data involved is a file. Is there any way to directly send the received file to the next axios request without saving it in the filesystem first?

I've tried something like:

let res = axios({ method: 'get', url: 'someurl.com/image.png', responseType: 'stream' }) axios.post(url2, {data: res.data}, {headers:{'Content-Type':'multipart/form-data'})}

and it doesn't seem to work.

So is there any way to do the above? Or should I go about it in a different manner?

Try this if you are using async/await

const { data } = await axios.get('/some_url', {...configs, responseType: 'stream'}) // pass it to another request await axios.post('/some_other_url', data, config)

axios call returns a promise. Can you try the following snippet and see if it works?

axios({ method: 'get', url: 'someurl.com/image.png', responseType: 'stream' }).then((res) => { axios.post(url2, {data: res.data}, {headers:{'Content-Type':'multipart/form-data'})} });
