Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

The current feature for uploading a file works great, but some APIs require binary data in the raw (not form encoded)

for example, IBM's Watson API requires you pass an audio file as raw content (not a form encoded body):

curl -X POST -u "apikey:{apikey}" --header "Content-Type: audio/flac" --data-binary @audio-file.flac "{url}/v1/recognitions?callback_url=http://{user_callback_path}/job_results&user_token=job25&timestamps=true"

Why should this be worked on?

While rare, headers can include file content, so a button allowing you to upload a file just like with form encoded bodies would be useful for these rare occasions.
