Adapt /images calls to handle additional media types #602

Open bellerbrock opened 7 months ago

It seems there is no good way in the current BrAPI spec for Field Book to submit audio recordings to a BrAPI server. Broadening the images endpoints to other media types could solve the problem, and could be useful for other media types like video as well.

The digital phenotyping project aimed at combining audio files along with the Field Book's GeoNav log files and storing them on Breedbase via BrAPI. Currently we are trying to send a zip file containing the files that we want. As there is no direct support for non-image files, we are uploading the base64 contents on the POST /images endpoint. If we could have support for different media types, that would indeed by very useful.
