I want to upload/post a file to Drupal site using services module(without base64 encoding).

File uploading with base64 encode using Services module is working fine. I have followed this tutorial(https://www.drupal.org/node/2195165)

But I need to Post file without base64 encode.

I have tried following steps.But that's not working (I am using Chrome extension Postman)

Step 1: I have added Header like:

Cookie: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
X-CSRF-token: O7XJHc4DZOVTLSpgRQgF-XD5VD7QFkBpo7QIW8pfN7g

Screen shot : http://prntscr.com/7svsyz

Step 2: Body parameters

file[file]: Choose files
file[filename]: myfilename.jpg
file[filepath]: public://my1.jpg

Screen shot : http://prntscr.com/7svsve

After following above steps I am getting error "Missing data the file upload can not be completed"

I am using Drupal 7 and Services 3

I don't believe this is possible. Why are you trying to do it?

Contact me to contract me for D7 -> D10/11 migrations.

@Jaypan thanks for reply. The main reason for this is I dont want file first encoded then it will be posted to Drupal. I want directly posted to Drupal using services module. (without encoding) . There are number of reason to not using base64. Base64 encoded files are larger than the original. So it will be used for small image.
I believe there must be some solution where we can post images directly to Drupal using services module.

Hey Firoz, 

Did you find the solution for this? If yes, then please share how did you achieved this. We are also looking for the same.

Thanks!

No. I don't found that solution. At that time I have used Base64 only. However I had also asked the same questions on stackoverflow, but no one has answered.
