Hi Greg, To my knowledge it shouldn't be necessary to do a lot of encoding. I could be wrong though. I recently sent this message containing code how to send a multipart response: http://markmail.org/message/lnkgviksr5kr2hkf

You're going to have to format the POST message yourself according to RFC 1867 with things like the boundary lines and content-type headers. (Note that if you do that, it'd be a great thing to add to the commons shared code repository on developer.marklogic.com.) The complexity you're going to hit is how to send a binary file in the middle of an otherwise text POST body. MarkLogic doesn't make that easy. You can set a binary() node as the POST body, but for RFC 1867 you'll have to construct that binary() node yourself from a sequence of strings (boundary lines and headers) and raw bytes (actual payload). If you're willing to base64 or hex encode the binary file as a string and decode it on the server, then the MarkLogic side will be easy. It's just one big string to manage. But if you can't do that, how would you construct the single binary() node that's the combination of strings surrounding another binary() node? The nasty hack that I envision is you'd want to start with the string, get its hex or base64 encoded value, append the binary's hex or base 64 encoded value, then convert that encoded byte sequence back to a binary() and POST that. -jh- On Apr 18, 2011, at 1:36 PM, Murray, Gregory wrote: > I need to send an HTTP POST where the data includes multiple string > parameters but also a binary file.
