Re: HTTPAPI xml size limit

["Richard Schoen" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Encoding your file into XML is the pure beauty of XML.  As long as you
get everything between the tags, you've got the entire payload !!

I would recommend making sure to Base64 encode your attachment before
putting it into the XML though. 

As long as size doesn't bite you, it's XML at its finest use of being an
envelope for any type of data.

Admittedly, I've not done it either way at this point.  So correct me if
I'm wrong, but I think I'd prefer to send the document inside the XML.

Mainly because that way I don't have to  providing a publicly accessible
repository with appropriate security.
