Issue Description
Parse server throws the following error while uploading files:
The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer, or Array or an Array-like Object. Received undefined
Steps to reproduce
The issue could be reproduced using the following curl request for File upload Rest API:
curl --location --request POST 'http://198.199.84.19:1337/parse/files/test.txt' \
--header 'X-Parse-Application-Id: <APP_ID>' \
--header 'X-Parse-REST-API-Key: <REST_API_KEY>' \
--header 'X-Parse-Master-Key: <MASTER_KEY>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/text' \
--data-raw 'Hello world'
Actual Outcome
The above request must respond with:
{
"code": 130,
"error": "The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer, or Array or an Array-like Object. Received undefined"
}
Expected Outcome
Successfully upload the file and respond with the URL to the file. A sample success response would be:
{
"url": "http://localhost:1337/parse/files/APP_ID/0fef055962401a0c5d23d9c10b737a07_test.txt",
