If you're generating one yourself, you can simply use the Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 header to tell the web server that the file is base64-encoded. If you're using a library or client that builds an HTTP request for you, you'll probably have to decode the base64 encoding and hand the raw file contents to the library/client. Roan
