Node-RED Node to be used in conjunction with the http multipart in node. As the multipart node does not provide a buffer, this node can be used to load a file using a path into a buffer or as a stream.
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install:
npm install node-red-contrib-file-buffer
Set msg.payload to a file path. If you are using the http in multipart node then the path for the first file will be
var files = Object.keys(msg.req.files);
msg.payload = msg.req.files[files[0]][0].path;
msg.payload will be a buffer or a stream containing the file contents.
This flow uses a multipart form to send a file to Watson Recognition for classification.
