'use strict';

const express   = require('express');
const multer= require('multer');
const concat = require('concat-stream');
const request = require('request');

const router = express.Router();

function HttpRelay (opts) {}


HttpRelay.prototype._handleFile = function _handleFile (req, file, cb) {
    file.stream.pipe(concat({ encoding: 'buffer' }, function (data) {
        const r = request.post('/Endpoint you want to upload file', function (err, resp, body) {

            if (err) return cb(err);
            req.relayresponse=body;
            cb(null, {});
        });

        const form = r.form();
        form.append('uploaded_file', data, {
            filename: file.originalname,
            contentType: file.mimetype
        });
    }))
};

HttpRelay.prototype._removeFile = function _removeFile (req, file, cb) {
    console.log('hello');
    cb(null);
};

const relayUpload = multer({ storage: new HttpRelay() }).any();

router.post('/uploadMsgFile', function(req, res) {
    relayUpload(req, res, function(err) {

        res.send(req.relayresponse);

    });
});

module.exports = router;

see multer does all the tricks for you. you just have to make sure you use no middle-ware but multer to upload files in your node starting point. Hope it does the tricks for you also.
