Still struggeling with large files like before - https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/sending-large-files.147161/#post-932687

Customer creates a file with multiple pictures. These are converted to base64 and included in an xml-file which is send to an server (Dataflex / vb.net). However the server only accepts files smaller then 30 mb.

Currently we're using postfile to send files and restrict the customer to 5 pictures. But the customer wants to make more pictures (and then the max of 30 mb is an issue).

Is there a way to send this file in chunks? I've read about b4xserialization but Erel mentioned that it will be very trival.
The reason why we don't want to split the file at the side off the app is that de serverside is directly forwarding received files. We need to keep these pictures together.

Send 5 pictures at a time? Just let the customer select as many pictures as they want and then programmatically group them so that the 30mb limit is never reached. Other options: a) change the current servers receive limit, b) install another server you can configure, or c) implement your own server (server here means program on the receiving end)
