Re: decoding base64 data on client/browser?

Does this mean you have no information that can help with the issue actually 
at hand?  Or, are you suggesting that I don't base64 encode the file before 
sending it, and just send the binary file "as is?"  The reason is, an XML 
field cannot contain bindary data.  You have to assume that a binary 
combination will occur that will cause the XML to appear malformed.

Thanks Peter!  Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
