So the changes in 1.3.6 are very welcome, indeed. In particular, the high performance image serving is something I would like to leverage immediately. The app I built and have been maintaining has several hundred images at this point. Unfortunately, I started writing the app long before the blobstore became available, so all of my images are stored as raw bytes in a BlobProperty in the datastore.
You're probably beginning to see my problem. I'd love to move all of the images into the blobstore to take advantage of the new high performance image serving. Since access to the blobstore is not directly exposed (that I know of), it seems to me the only way to do this is to iterate through all the images in the datastore, generate a blobstore URL for each and attempt to construct a POST request somehow from the raw images bytes. I don't even know if this is possible, or how it will work. In any event, it sounds pretty painful. I'm wondering if there is a suggested way to accomplish this. I have a few ideas but I'd like to hear others before I start on what seems to be a fairly difficult task.
