Hello, I am trying to use an analysis API of photos (not Microsoft Recognizer), however I am having trouble uploading the photos. While I could use a MediaDB, I do not want to (for privacy), I just want one copy of the image to an API endpoint that I control. I can upload either a base64 or via a filepath. I canot figure out for the life of me how to upload the media content to an API that is NOT the Microsoft or the MediaDB. I have tried things like setting the Body to Photo, and I get a 415 (invalid media type). Can someone point me to a project that may do something like this so I can look at the blocks? Thank you. ---
