Get image file from a client request

I want to get a .bmp format image via HTTP request. When I send a test request via Postman there are headlines added such as Content-Type and when the request is saved to the stream they are automatically added to the generated .bmp file and the file doesn’t work properly. When I remove not needed headlines by hand in Nano the image can be opened the way I expect it to be.

Is there a way in cpprestsdk to not add the headlines and post only the image file or the headlines need to be deleted?

void Service::handlePost(http_request request)
{
auto fileStream = std::make_sharde<Concurrency::streams::ostream>();
utility::string_t file = "file.bmp";

// open stream to output file
*fileStream = Concurrency::streams::fstream::open_stream(file).get();
request.body().read_to_end(fileStream->streambuf()).wait();
fileStream.close();
//...
}

Content-Type: image/bmp

According to the documentation(https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk/wiki/Getting-Started-Tutorial), there is no such way, so you should remove the headers yourself.
