Summary of Changes
Hello @wazir-ahmed, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request addresses a critical server crash issue caused by malformed multipart POST requests. The fix involves two main changes: disabling the automatic POST preprocessing option within the underlying libhttpserver library and implementing explicit content-type validation for POST requests to the /sync endpoint. These changes enhance the REST API's robustness and prevent unexpected server termination when encountering malformed request payloads.
Highlights
- API Robustness: Implemented content-type validation for POST requests to the /sync endpoint, ensuring only expected content types (JSON, plain text) are processed and rejecting others with a 415 Unsupported Media Type error.
- Server Stability: Disabled the libhttpserver's internal POST preprocessing feature to prevent crashes when handling malformed multipart POST requests, addressing the root cause of the server instability.

Code Review
This pull request addresses a server crash caused by malformed multipart POST requests. The fix involves disabling POST preprocessing in libhttpserver and adding manual Content-Type validation for the /sync endpoint. The changes look good and directly address the issue. I have one suggestion to ensure consistent behavior for error responses.
