Add a more efficient way of uploading files to a server workflow

Not planned

The only way to pass a file to a server workflow seems to be by using base64 encoding. This is not efficient, because this increases the amount of data to upload by roughly 33%.

An additional problem is that if the server has a limit on POST data, this limit will be reached sooner.

 

Please add a better way to upload files, maybe by allowing a multipart upload when calling a server workflow, maybe by implementing a separate upload endpoint in the workflow application.

  I agree that base64 isn't the most ideal for large files. I had a quick look online and there do seem to be ways to achieve this, so I'll add it to the backlog.
