Content-Disposition: form-data; name="from"
recipient#email.com

Answer 1

fermata looks like it might be what you're looking for. From the github page:
fermata.json("http://example.com/some/action").post({
'Content-Type':"multipart/form-data"
}, {
fileField: form.input.file || {data:nodeBuffer, name:"", type:""}
}, callback)

Answer 2

request supports multipart/form-data or if you're just looking to create the content body, try form-data

Answer 3

I know this is old but I recently needed to generate a form's multipart/form-data body string and came across this thread.
I was unable to find any modules out there that did this in a simple way so I made my own module: https://github.com/kodie/form-data-body
You can use it like so:
const formDataBody = require('form-data-body')
// Specify form fields
const fields = {
name: 'My test post',
description: 'This is just a test post',
items: ['First Item', 'Second Item'],
// Files should be an object with the name, type, and data set to strings
image: {
name: 'hello.jpg',
type: 'image/jpeg',
data: binaryImageData
}
}
const boundary = formDataBody.generateBoundary()
const header = {
'Content-Type': `multipart/form-data; boundary=${boundary}`
}
const body = formDataBody(fields, boundary)
Example Output:
----------------------------071517909670537006900435
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"
My test post
----------------------------071517909670537006900435
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="description"
This is just a test post
----------------------------071517909670537006900435
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="items[]"
First Item
----------------------------071517909670537006900435
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="items[]"
Second Item
----------------------------071517909670537006900435
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image"; filename="hello.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg
[BINARY IMAGE DATA]
