🆕 blog! “The question which could bring down the government”

This is a retropost. Written contemporaneously in May 2020 during the height of the pandemic, but published long after the events. The day the EU referendum was announced, the then Prime Minister came to visit our office. We were given a chance to talk to him in front of TV cameras. Th…

One of the things we talked about in the Social Web Working Group was how to include binary data in the ActivityPub objects, like an Image. One proposed technique was to base64-encode the data and include it in content; another option was to use data: URLs in the url property of the object. Do any ActivityPub processors currently include inline images or other binary data?

@jamie An implementation might push the binary data at delivery time if it wanted to save some HTTP hits later. It's the same reason that some web pages use data: urls or inline SVG.

You may not agree that it's ever necessary, and I actually don't care if it is or not.

It's a feature that Activity Streams 1.0 had, that the AS2 spec hints at, and that I vaguely remember discussing in the WG. I want to make sure I cover it correctly in my book.
