I am currently getting a base64 encoded image from a mobile device’s camera using PhoneGap, I would like to upload the image to a server to then store. Not sure what the right approach is?
As expected, if I try to include the base64 string as a parameter I get the Error 414 (Request-URI Too Large)
Even if you use POST the server accepting the POST will need to be capable of decoding the base64 parameter. Luckily the PhoneGap API provides a better way to do this with FileTransfer.
You need to get the file handle to the image instead of the base64 encoding. Using the file handle resolves the issue of getting a JavaScript out of memory error. This also removes any cross-site scripting issues since PhoneGap is using native code to perform the post instead of using the browser. Hope that helps.
