Send images via sockets in C++

Question

I'm trying to send an image in C++ using sockets.

The problem I'm facing is reading the image as binary base64 and then inserting it in a char array in order to send it.

I would really appreciate if you can help me or give me a tip on how to read the image as binary base64 then insert it into a char array.

Thank you!

You should first read the file as binary. And then use the read buffer to encode as base64 and send it over to the recipient. Try readying binaryIO in C++ and there are a lot of base64 libraries e.g. apache , openssl etc.

For Binary IO. Read binary file c++ http://courses.cs.vt.edu/cs2604/fall02/binio.html

Base64 : how to convert the binary string into base64 Encode data..?
