As the question states – I want to send a binary file to a webservice. Does it make sense to think of this in a REST kind of way? Does it make sense to “POST” binary data, and how would you set up the receiving web service?
I am working in grails, and I am trying to set up a service that will allow one web service to pass it a file, and then pass the file back after some processing.
Yes, this is a perfectly valid scenario. Just set the request content-type to
application/octet-streamand the server can read the stream of bytes and do whatever it wants with it.
