Accesing binary file from a webhook to http request

Questions
1

I am new to n8n. Just started exploring some workflows. I am uploading a pdf file using webhook and then passing it along to a http request node. I can see the file in the input side of http request node but the binary file is not accesed by the http node. it says Bad request - please check your parameters.

i have checked the input data field name. I am attaching a screenshot here.

No file uploaded

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node
