creating payload with a zip file as for requests to Azur deployment

I try to deploy the Azure function by using Rest API and zip-archive of solution.

It works properly in Postman.

I've found advice on how to upload mp3 files https://arnitek.com/2019/02/10/al-post-binary-file-over-http/ and develop a solution for my task.

But when I try to create a payload for request by AL-code for Business Central (file have been uploaded to instr):

            CR := 13;
            LF := 10;
            NewLine += '' + CR + LF;
            
            httpHeader.Clear();
            TempBlob.CreateOutStream(PayloadOutStream);

            PayloadOutStream.WriteText('--boundary' + NewLine);
            PayloadOutStream.WriteText(StrSubstNo('Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="%1"', filename) + NewLine);
            PayloadOutStream.WriteText('Content-Type: application/zip' + NewLine);
            PayloadOutStream.WriteText(NewLine);
            
            CopyStream(PayloadOutStream, InStr);

            PayloadOutStream.WriteText(NewLine);
            PayloadOutStream.WriteText('--boundary');
            PayloadOutStream.WriteText(NewLine);

            TempBlob.CreateInStream(PayloadInStream);
            Content.WriteFrom(PayloadInStream);
            Content.GetHeaders(httpHeader);
            if httpHeader.Contains('Content-Type') then httpHeader.Remove('Content-Type');
            httpHeader.Add('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data;boundary=boundary');
            httpRequest := CreateHttpRequestMessage(Content, 'Post', RequestURI);
            Client.Clear();
            Client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add('Authorization', StrSubstNo('Bearer %1', token));
            if Client.Send(httpRequest, httpResponse) then begin
                httpResponse.Content().ReadAs(responseText);
                Message(responseText);
            end
            else
                Error(RequestErrorMsg);

I received an error in the response message from the deployment process like this:

{"Message":"An error has occurred.","ExceptionMessage":"Number of entries expected in End Of Central Directory does not correspond to number of entries in Central Directory.","ExceptionType":"System.IO.InvalidDataException","StackTrace":" at System.IO.Compression.ZipArchive.ReadCentralDirectory()\r\n at System.IO.Compression.ZipArchive.get_Entries()\r\n at Kudu.Core.Infrastructure.ZipArchiveExtensions.Extract(ZipArchive archive, String directoryName, ITracer tracer, Boolean doNotPreserveFileTime) in C:\\Kudu Files\\Private\\src\\master\\Kudu.Core\\Infrastructure\\ZipArchiveExtensions.cs:line 114\r\n at Kudu.Services.Deployment.PushDeploymentController.<>c__DisplayClass21_0.<LocalZipFetch>b__1() in C:\\Kudu Files\\Private\\src\\master\\Kudu.Services\\Deployment\\PushDeploymentController.cs:line 746\r\n at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.InnerInvoke()\r\n at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Execute()......

I believe, something is wrong when I build the payload. Could you give me advice on how I have to build the body of the request for my case?
