WCF Rest uploading an image

Question

I'm currently looking at the best way to upload an image to my existing WCF Json service, the service then saves the image to a folder on the server. Is it as simple as streaming the image? Or is there a different practice if you are using json?

Ultimately ill be sending an image from a mobile device to the service.

You could use ajaxForm or ajaxSubmit from http://www.malsup.com/jquery/form/ We used it to call an MVC action with our data, but had to use the iframe fallback option due to IE having issues with ajax and file inputs.

For a mobile site I would expect this to be useful. For a mobile app I would expect it to be more a case of streaming the image as you would any other type of file.
