@jay1459, thank you for bringing up this one.
In theory, /api/v2/file_asset should work without errors, as the web interface is currently using that endpoint.

Let me test and play around with the endpoint. If necessary, I'll apply fixes and/or update the API documentation on how to use /api/v2/file_asset.

In the meantime, feel free to try to set the content type to form-data.

@jay1459, I just opened a pull request (#2191). Once it gets merged, you can upgrade Anthias and see the fix take effect.

Thank you so much for the speed of this. Thats very appreciated.
