How upload a fileimage via json api?

I’m trying to upload a file or image on a D9 site via json api. The test is namely to upload the user picture on the user entity.

I’ve been following the documentation or read questions about, but I can’t get it working.

The front-end is done with Next.js.

One the test done is the following:

The front-end next calls the next.js api server:

const filename = selectedFile.name; const fr = new FileReader(); fr.readAsArrayBuffer(selectedFile); fr.onload = async function () {     const arrayBuffer = fr.result;     if (arrayBuffer && typeof arrayBuffer !== 'string') {         const base64String = _arrayBufferToBase64(arrayBuffer);         const cookieSession = await getUpdateCookie();         const res = await fetch(`/api/users-test/user?cookie=${cookieSession}&name=${filename}`, {             method: 'POST', body: base64String,         });     } }  function _arrayBufferToBase64(buffer: ArrayBuffer) {     let binary = '';     const bytes = new Uint8Array(buffer);     const len = bytes.byteLength;     for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {         binary += String.fromCharCode(bytes[i]);     }     return window.btoa(binary); } 

The api next.js server post then to Drupal:

const res = await fetch(       `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL}/jsonapi/user/user/{userID}/user_picture`,       {         method: 'POST',         headers: {           'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream',           Accept: 'application/vnd.api+json',           'Content-Disposition': `name="file"; filename="${filename}"`,           Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,         },         body: req.body,       }     );  

I tried different ways to convert the file to "binary file data", but none work: the user picture is always a blank square with an X.

However, if I try the same call with postman, the file is correctly loaded:

So, for now, I hypothesize the problem is on the javascript code, while Drupal has been configured correctly.
