> The REST server (or rather web application) does not properly encode binary values in the JSON results, and instead is embedding the toString() version of the byte[].  The binary values should instead be encoded in Base64, and the REST client should be able to then read (or upload) binary values using this approach.
> (If the binary value is already a Base64-encoded representation, then the JSON content will just be a Base64-encoded representation of the value that happens to be Base64-encoded. Shouldn't be a problem.)
