In some cases it is the only way because you don't have control over the

Base64 encoded which will increase the size by around 3 times (Scott,
correct me if I am wrong in that amount. I know we talked about this
earlier this year). That means a document that is 1MB is then bloated to
3MB to be sent safely over the wire.

Actually, I think the increase is one third: each encoded character
carries six bits of information but occupies an octet of eight bits.

Cheers,
Terry.
