is it possible to receive picture in a REST service

BobK

I am trying to expose a REST service in my AwareIM application that accepts a picture, but I can not get it to work.

In my testing, I am sending the picture as base64 encoded. The tomcat log file has the following error: "Invalid format of binary representation for attribute myPic"

Is this possible in the latest version of AwareIM (version 8.4 build 2722)?
If so, what format does the picture data need to be in?

Yes, it is possible. The data for the picture should start with the file name, then a delimiter # and then Base64 encoding of the picture, for example:

myPicture.png#aa2342bb33..................

That’s kind of cool.
Looks like you’re gonna solve that Tuesday Bob.
Take an image of how that data structure looks when you get that embedded please. Or attach the uploaded data. Thx

THANK YOU SUPPORT.

Jaymer et al.
This will be used to allow users to load their pictures into the system via a REST service.

Here is a small sample of the JSON coming into the service:
{"userid":"BobK","userpic":"bobk.jpg#iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhE..."}

userid is so I know whose picture it is.
userpic is a file name for the picture, "#" and the Base64 encoding of the picture.
