Describe the issue

I accidentally used PATCH instead of POST for Uploading the cover, and it crashes the server. It's repetitive. The exact Python code I used:

def upload_library_item_cover(self, library_item_id, cover_url : str):
        url = self.domain + f"/api/items/{library_item_id}/cover"
        
        to_change = dict()
        to_change["url"] = cover_url

        json_data = json.dumps(to_change)

        headers = {
            'Content-type': 'application/json',
            'Authorization': "Bearer " + self.token
        }
        
        response = requests.patch(url, data=json_data, headers=headers) #Use post instead!

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Call this with PATCH instead of POST.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.2.17
