How to make POST request with a binary body in Meteor.js

I’m hoping to find a solution for a frustrating problem in Meteor.js. I want to make some API calls to an open API service for face detection. I just need to send an image and receive a JSON object. I cannot find a way to send an image in the post body with meteor.js. The default http package in Meteor has the following method

HTTP.post(url, [callOptions], [asyncCallback])

or

HTTP.call(method, url, [options], [asyncCallback])

with the options

[options]  
 data Object
    JSON-able object to stringify and use as the HTTP request body. Overwrites content.

My question is how to attach a binary stream to the post body.

any help? Thanks
