I'm retrieving a Base64 encoded image from a webservice and trying to upload it to Cloudinary. I've tried a number of avenues to attempt the upload and all have seemed to fail.
So here was my first attempt. The error is: "TypeError: file() argument 1 must be encoded string without NULL bytes, not str"

grid = 'osgrid'
texture = Asset.get(assetID, grid)
cloudinary.uploader.upload(texture, public_id='fred')So then I thought maybe if I don't decode the Base64 image and pass it to the uploader that might work. Alas Nope. Here is the error "cloudinary.api.Error: Server returned unexpected status code - 502 - "
Here is the code:

# end -- OR --So then I thought that maybe it didn't like the jp2. So I wrote a small program to read a jpeg base64 encode it and try to upload it with a data_url. Nope. Error: "cloudinary.api.Error: Server returned unexpected status code - 502 - "
#!/usr/bin/env python
# send to cloudinary
import cloudinary
import cloudinary.uploader
import cloudinary.api
cloudinary.config(
cloud_name = "<name>",
api_key = "<key>",
api_secret = "<secret>"
)
# open file
with open('lake.jpg', 'r') as f:
d = f.read()
# base 64 encode
import base64
e = base64.b64encode(d)
# build URL
# print e
data_url = 'data:image/jpeg;base64,'+e
# print data_url
cloudinary.uploader.upload(data_url)So then I tried uploading the file(test.jp2) with the web interface. Nope. Error: "Upload failed: General Error" (See screenshot)
I'm out of ideas. Please advise of next steps. Am I doing something really wrong?
