Question

Sending an image through Webservice

1

Is it possible to receive an image through a webservice in Mendix 5.2. I've done this in 4.5. There I'm able to use the content attribute and create a new image and change this attribute. In 5.2 I'm not able to use this anymore. Is there an other way to send and receive images?

You could use a unlimited string, base64 encode the image en encode when receiving?

To elaborate on what @Stephan is saying; If Mendix is the receiving side of your request then the side that is sending the image whether it is a mendix or none mendix application must send the image encoded in base64. I have ever done this with android and you can use base64 to send any kind of binary media to mendix webservice.
