Hi all, My questions has more to do with designing a REST protocol (that is to form a core part of myAppEngine application). I couldn't really find a forum where I could post this question and this seemed to me to be the most appropriate forum as most of would probably be designing their applications in a similar way.
I have been reading how Google designed the GData protocol based around Atom + REST calls and have read through a lot of the references on XML.com etc on howto design REST protocols. I understand that each resource should be identified by a URI and howto model search functionality and provide feedback using HTTP codes. I am really interested in the idea of using Atom or a similar format to pass data across while fetching and sending data. This is all well and good when dealing with data that is not a binary file. In fact if the REST API was consumed by any other language than JavaScript I could encode binary files and send them across as part of the message. But what about JavaScript? If I create a rich web interface using JavaScript how do I encode the binary file data as part of the AJAX request? Any information or pointers will be welcome.
