If you're in control over both the client and server, I'd suggest avoiding sending the image data over JSON. You're going to seriously inflate the file size by base64-encoding it, and for what purpose? You can be REST without using JSON. It would be much more efficient if you could just issue a PUT at a certain URL to upload the image data. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
