Question
Regarding the PictureData input field in the UploadSiteHostedPictures API call, can the field just contain the base64 encoded binary image?  Or is the MIME-multipart POST a must when using the UploadSiteHostedPictures API call?
Answer
The PictureData field is optional.  It is not required, and in most implementations will not be included in the request.  The MIME-multipart POST is a must.  The binary data of the image cannot just be serialized within the PictureData element of the request.  It must be included as the second part of the MIME-multipart POST.
