It's probably related to the use of body-parser (especially the urlencoded
method) which, by default, works on requests with the media-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
only.
Your main application module probably has some lines like these:
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded());
I suppose, you could just add the following to have requests of type multipart/form-data
parsed as well:
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
type: 'multipart/form-data'
}));
