If I change the content-type from `application/cbor` into `application/octet-stream` then the test program is working as expected (ie. the buffer send is also received as a buffer).

Moreover this change also fixed the issue when sending data to edge impulse ([http://ingestion.edgeimpulse.com/api/training/data](http://ingestion.edgeimpulse.com/api/training/data)).
