If you're uploading data as part of a form, you must use multipart/form-data for your Content-Type.

Don't set Content-Type for your HTTP request and you should be fine, as the Request module will set it for you. Also, you can find the documentation here: https://github.com/request/request#multipartform-data-multipart-form-uploads
