I am tryng to upload a picture and store it in exist-db but i get the next error when opening the stored picture:
Cannot open specified file: Could not recognize image encoding.
I have tryed the next code with a small adjustment for normal txt files and it works fine but not with pictures.
picture.xhtml

save.xquery

declare option exist:serialize "method=xhtml media-type=text/html indent=yes";
let $login:=xmldb:login('xmldb:exist:///db/apps/places','admin','admin')
(: The small adjusment i refer is just to change file extension from .jpeg to .txt :)
return xmldb:store("/db/apps/places/",concat("pic",".jpeg"), util:base64-decode(request:get-data()//image))
If you want to store images to the eXist-db you should probably replace
xmldb:store()withxmldb:store-as-binary().
