Webhook support for base64 encoded images

[bigbang1976]

I have been testing a few things with discord webhooks. Would it be possible to support base64 encoded images in multipart/form-data? This would really help speed up some of the development goals I have. Thanks for considering.
If this is already possible I would love to know more. In my testing this didn't work and I couldn't find this in the documentation.

--boundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files[0]"; filename="myfilename.png"
Content-Type: image/png

FormData is a web standard, and doesn’t (exactly) relate to the Discord API. Every website/server you send FormData to expects you to send the raw bytes of your file, that’s just how FormData works.

Unfortunately the post function I currently use doesn’t allow me to create a raw byte as part of the payload.

Imgur has this option of uploading base64 so thought I’d ask here as well. If it’s not possible I will either need to use something like curllib or upload through Imgur and use that image link in the discord webhook. Either way it’s a bit more complicated than base64 support in discord webhooks.

I got it working. reading rfc 2046

You can omit the base64 encoding step (or if the data is already coming in as base64, you can decode it).
