  • Unless I misunderstand the use case, you can also convert the document into base64 (converts a file into a text string) and send the text string into a post API.  Then you use a plugin to convert the base64 string back into a document in the process.  I've done this before, and it works quite well, though you will also have to pass in the file name and file extension, as these metadata attributes are not retained in the base64 string.
