Uploading an image using a multipart request with OAuth2 access token #327
Description
I'm having trouble uploading an image using a multipart/form-data request. Traceback is below, I'm using oauthlib 0.6.1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "*******oauth_validators.py", line 30, in validate

return unicode_type(data, encoding=encoding)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 613: invalid start byte
It seems that as part of request verification, oauthlib expects the body byte string to be encoded in utf-8. Since the image's raw bytes are present in the multipart/form-data body, converting the body to unicode raises the UnicodeDecodeError.
I may be understanding this incorrectly, but is there no way to upload the image as raw bytes instead of base64 encoding the image?
