Cannot send fax attachments via javascript API

I have tried unsuccessfully to send fax attachment via the API:

- Tried two different destination faxes

- Tried two different pdf attachments (including simply resending the fax cover sheet RC generates)

- Tried appending the attachement to formData as a Blob and File

- Checked the Contect-Type is set to application/pdf

In all cases the fax is indicated as Sent on the message store and indicates that there are 2 pages to be sent (cover + 1 one-page attachment) but the receiving fax machine only gets the cover page.

Please help - it takes way to long to develop applications based on RingCentral!

Did you receive the fax with the cover page and w/o attachments? Sending fax from sandbox is currently broken as attachments will be missing. Faxing work normal on production environment though.

Will let you know when then problem is be fixed.
