ECONNRESET and CGI parser error when trying to upload file using axios post

Question

Using Postman I was able to upload the file to server , but when I use the same script in VSCode, error is thrown - read ECONNRESET error and CGI parser error

Code

const axios = require('axios');
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';
var formData = require('form-data');
var data = new formData();
data.append('file', readFileSync('path/to/file/to/upload'));
const body = {
  file: data,
};
const headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
};
const url = 'http://localhost:8080/queryparameters';
async function abc() {
  await axios
    .post(url, body, { headers })
    .then((data) => {
      console.log(data);
    })
    .catch((e) => console.log(e));
}
abc();

Error message

2. CGI Parser

  },
  .

  data: '<title>Error occurred.</title><h2>Error occurred.</h2>Error parsing CGI request: CgiParser: reached end of input while seeking end of headers or content. Format of CGI input is wrong\n'

Tried the following :

1. adding content length
2. with and without VPN connection
3. also with urllib and fetch - got same error
