Topic: Send attachment as blob instead of base64Binary
Maria Hu (Apr 11 2022 at 23:41):
When sending attachment(s) in FHIR, there's the resource Binary to send data in base64Binary. If there's size limitation in an integrated system (e.g. AWS), are there other options to send in bulky attachment(s)? Can we send a longBlob? Please advise, thanks.

If you're wanting to know if you can just POST/PUT the binary resource using it's native contentType (e.g. application/pdf) that's supported by the spec. There are some special headers you can use to set the securityContext on the created resource too.
