Hi,

this seems related to https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/1203

Problem 1: When setting Content-Transfer-Encoding manually (via
<http:header>), it will appear twice in the request that is sent

Problem 2: I cannot override base64 because it happens automatically
based on the content I am sending and for some reason the web server
that receives this request does not recognize the base64 encoding
correctly

Regards,

Max
