Binary Pastes
-------------

httpaste supports encoding. Encode your data as Base64, Base85, Base32, or 
Base16 and provide an encoding specifier.

.. code-block:: shell

    $ cat my.pdf | base64 | curl "http://localhost:8080/paste/public?encoding=base64"
    http://localhost:8080/paste/public/5Rt3E3n6

When getting pastes, you may provide a MIME type, if a client deduces the encoding by looking at the HTTP 'Content-Type' header.

     $ curl "https://p.victoryk.it/paste/public/5Rt3E3n6?mime=application/pdf"
