    Hi SheryBulos 

    I heard back from our Engineering team.

    While you can create a form and send the non-file form data to an API via http.client.request, we don't currently support passing files using http.client.request. If a customization needs to send files to an API, you'll either need to make the API call from the browser (i.e., an AJAX request) or else you will need to work with Professional Services.
