Create issue with attachements

[HiranChaudhuri]

I like this fine API - it allowed me to much faster implement some functionality. So I have an application that can report stange behaviour directly as an issue. The user would just enter what he was doing/intended to do in a form field and upon clicking ok the issue is created.

Now I'd like to add a screenshot and the logfile, but somehow I am lost. What I can do is add a link into the issue text - but where does the content go? Do I have to create GHGist or GHBlob?

How do I correctly upload and reference image and text data via the API?

AFAICS it's not exposed in the GitHub REST API thus why you can't do it with the Hub4j GitHub API.

I couldn't find anything in the doc and it looks like others are complaining about it too: isaacs/github#1133 (comment) .

Thank you for the comment. Indeed it seems that usecase is simply not wanted - but more as a 'security by obscurity' layer.
GitHub could make an announcement somewhere, the information could be part of the documentation.

Even better would be to make this a payable feature. After all it is a good feature, the API functionality is almost there and it could bring paying customers to GitHub. But I am not their product manager.

As an effect, i will search for other locations on the internet to store the file that are required only until an issue is analyzed.
