The multipart header parser stores part-header names on a plain JavaScript object, so a part header named proto or constructor resolves to an inherited value that is not an array, and the parser throws TypeError: this.header[h].push is not a function. Through the documented req.pipe(busboy) integration this surfaces as an error event, while direct write()/end() …
