Fill all three blanks to write a test script that checks if the binary file upload response status is 200 and content-type is correct.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using status 201 which means created but not always returned.

Checking wrong header keys or values.

The test checks that the response status is 200 (OK) and the Content-Type header matches 'application/octet-stream' indicating a successful binary upload.
