Well the good news (I suppose) is that base64Decode seems to ignore the carriage returns in the encoded string. The bad news (for me) is that it means my intermittence issue had nothing to do with the carriage returns. Bob S > On Apr 25, 2024, at 8:09 AM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode >

I need to put encodeImageData into json (which is utf-8) and then post it to the api. I'm not sure what aspects of base64 encoding would not be utf8 compatible... seem to remember there are some quirks there to be aware of. The python code does the decode("utf-8") step at the end - so I guess
