I don't "know", but I'd first look at how the upload button works, and
if not that, then perhaps add it as a body on an http PUT or POST to
the server? How would it be done in "plain" javascript? My redirect to
frame showed me that you can "hack" EWB nicely, but that Tim had
already provided the mechanism properly in the framework.

My original thought was to have a Dataset with a blob field and load the
photo data encoded with Base64 stored in that field, but Tim suggested
that this would not be a good idea.

So I thought I would try using the TServerRequest and use a POST to send
the Base64 string to my webserver. When I looked at the EWB code for
sending a Dataset that appeared to be exactly what it was doing so I was
wondering if there was another way that I am not aware of.

ServerRequest and POST is the only way to send data to server from
javascript apps that i know of. Why even bother with the base64 and such
- just POST with binary image as payload and then on server you can
directly save to file
