You can't – there are binary values that are simply not acceptable in an XML stream. Encoding the binary is the canonical way around this. That said, the obvious alternative is to use /update/extract instead of /update – this gives you a way of handling up to one binary stream in addition to any number of fields that can be represented as text. In that case, you need to construct a POST request that sends the binary content as a file stream, and the other parameters as ordinary form data (actually, it may be possible to send some/all of the other fields as url parameters, but that does not really simplify things).
