Hello, I am trying to use my existing fastapi code, but scale it with RayServe. This is the code snippet:

```auto
from fastapi import UploadFile, FastAPI
from ray import serve
app = FastAPI()

@serve.deployment() 
@serve.ingress(app)
class MyFastAPIDeployment:
    @app.post("/segment_text")
    async def segment_text(text: UploadFile):
        text = await text.read()

```

This code in FastApi worked fine, but with RayServe I am getting an error `'MyFastAPIDeployment' object has no attribute 'read'`  
Can you please advice me on how to send files and read them?

Mistake found - forgot about `self`. Should be

```auto
from fastapi import UploadFile, FastAPI
from ray import serve
app = FastAPI()

@serve.deployment() 
@serve.ingress(app)
class MyFastAPIDeployment:
    @app.post("/segment_text")
    async def segment_text(self, text: UploadFile):
        text = await text.read()

```
