Hi, thanks for the quick reply. My concerns are mainly with compressed binary data such as images but also other file formats such as PDF etc. However I would like...

fceller: Regarding the protocol, I was referring to couchdb attachments for that specific reason. I have not put any more thought if that is the optimal way to do it,...

Thinking about my use case a little more, smaller blob's (< 16KB) could be embedded as base64 encoded data. Larger files could be wired as multipart binary content and stored...

fceller: What is your take on this. Is it better to keep things as they are and workaround binary attachments with alternate storage i.e on local disk or NAS or...

The more I think about this the more I lean towards just keeping references to files in arangodb. Why? Since my users could just as well store their attachments in...

From my point of view the best approach would be to create a separate document for each file referencing the 'parent document'. That way you avoid having to do a...

I'm adding this quote from another thread. "I think that arangodb should be data agnostic. Perhaps you need to create a binaries api and have a separate process that handles...

Adding these for reference. Multipart/form-data: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2388.txt FormData: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XMLHttpRequest/FormData https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/XMLHttpRequest/FormData/Using_FormData_Objects

The possibility to store binaries in the key store would also be nice.

Great news, although I'm little unsure of the implication having a special collection for binaries. But perhaps that is a good feature, anyhow I'm looking forward to try this out....
