BASE64 image format uploaded in Gateway

[nitesh_jain3]

Hi all,

BASE64 image format is being uploaded in the Gateway service from a mobile app written in javascript. The mime type is image/jpeg. The core type of the media resource in the Gateway entity is of 'Edm.Binary' type. This BASE64 image format is automatically converted by the gateway in some format.. Any idea what this format is?

This format does not seem to be xstring as when i convert this back to BASE64 (using standard fm SCMS_BASE64_ENCODE_STR) i am unable to reconstruct the image back and this BASE64 image format is different from the input BASE64.

Would appreciate any help to understand this? (alternatively can take input as Edm.String instead of Edm.Binary and do the conversion programatically but wanted to understand what gateway framework is doing).

regards

Nitesh
