使用C ++ POST二进制数据

Question

I have a binary file which I presume cannot be sent( using Wininet , POST method , C++ ) as such without encoding as base64. In that case , the encoded data when received in the server side is not being decoded back to binary automatically, even after setting the request header "Content-Transfer-encoding : base64". Can someone enlighten me the proper way of doing?

Note: I tried decoding in the server and it worked. Previous questions in Stackoverflow on the same topic is not answered properly.

You can send binary data with POST requests just fine. The HTTP header specifies the length of the payload, which can be treated as a raw sequence of bytes.
