Off-chain data using the RPC API

Question

Hi,

How can I pass a huge binary file (up to 1Gb) to the RPC API in order to store it in a binary cache?

The examples show it using a file redirection within the same server, but what if I cannot log into the server and I just cannot communicate through the RPC API? How do I achieve it?

Thanks!

You can call the appendbinarycache command as many times as you need, each time adding a small piece of the data, passed in hexadecimal format. The command returns the current total size of the item.
