How to send and receive bitmap on restful server

I searched and found very little content, I would like some tips because I never did. How do I send and receive a bitmap to a server? Command with JSon? Convert to base64? What is the best way to send and how should my method be on the server to receive? Thanks.

Simply submit as binary content.

String url = "http://seusite.com.br";
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                    .getAbsolutePath(),"suaImagem.jpg");
try {
    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

    HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);

    InputStreamEntity reqEntity = new InputStreamEntity(
            new FileInputStream(file), -1);
    reqEntity.setContentType("binary/octet-stream");
    reqEntity.setChunked(true); // mande em pacotes separados se necessario
    httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);
    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

} catch (Exception e) {
    // Trate seu erro
}

this response.

The correct thing is that you encode the base64 image and send it through the server, before sending, it converts the Base64 image to a Byte array and sends that entire Object.

//Codificar uma imagem
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getActivity().getResources(),
                    R.drawable.imagem);
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] bitMapData = stream.toByteArray();
String encodedImage2 =Base64.encodeToString(bitMapData,Base64.DEFAULT);

//Decodificar
byte[] arquivo = null;
arquivo = Base64.decode(objeto.imagem.toString());
