My iOS app needs to upload images to DNN.    I know how to do a WebAPI - so worst case I guess I can hex64 encode them - but sounds very inefficient.   Questions:

• Thoughts on the best way to upload an image - and associate that with a JSON data upload as well?
• Where should images (lots of images) go?    Is there a DNN way to manage these?    (I'll manage my other user records by myself.)
• Ditto for downloading of images on demand to an iOS app

Thanks!!!

Thanks, but...    I have no problems at all on the iOS side, and the WebAPI to DNN works fine  (no security so far, but that's another issue.)    The question is how to handle image uploads, manage a library, selectively download images -- within DNN.    More specifically:

• image upload, in parallel with a WebAPI so that they're bonded to the appropriate id per my logic.   prefer native http upload for performance
• image download, initiated by my WebAPI
• view images on DNN, hopefully in an existing module/framework - worst case I can build my own module

Is there an existing image module/framework to work with in DNN?

One google post on stackoverflow seemed to mention an "image API".    Is there anything there?

Thanks!  p

There is the Icon API, but that doesn't sound like what you are looking for.  You can also set and download user profile images, is that what you need?

If you are looking for a full blown image web service for DNN, there might be one by a 3rd party.  But wouldn't it be better to build that yourself so that you have full control over it? Your implementation would be leaner since it wouldn't have to deal with the overbloated needs of providing global image handling for every possible app.  You also have to worry about changes in the API breaking your app.

If your app is open source, I can build the API you need.  Let me know.
