POST as base64?

are you tring to generate a file using a form?

yes, exactly.

I am a little confused how that would work, even if you could convert the fields to base64

what would that file contain? the data submitted by the form but encoded in base64 and packed as a file?

can you link me to the relevant github documentation?

I then was trying to create a form in Webstudio that would allow me to create a new blog post. I was able to generate a new post in Insomnia (or Postman) with this way only if I used a Base64 version. I used AI to help me get that far.

Basically, I was trying to use Github/DecapCMS as my backend CMS without every seeing it (after initial setup).

afaik files are automatically encoded in forms by the browser, but not the regular fields

fields are not a file, its just info, you would still need to turn that text into some kind of file, because essentially there is no logic that would do that

ok, thanks. I will probably test with n8n at some point then.
