Sending documents as base64 worked the last time I tried it (2 years ago) with REST, but why do you need to send as base64? What language are you using?

What programming language are you using? Can you explain where the files are coming from? It is hard for me to help you without knowing the context.

Sorry, but I don't know vue.js very well.
Dealing with files in JavaScript is not recommended. It is much easier to do this using PHP or some other server-side language. If you are using Firefox, then there is a nice File API. The other browsers are difficult. See:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/750 ... s-browsers
After you get the contents of the file, then you can convert it to base64 using
atob() and then send it to the REST endpoint.
Frankly, I think you should use PHP, so you don't have to deal with base64.
