Hi Dean,






The restriction is caused by an odd issue of JIRA. When attaching a file using the JIRA Remote API, this API converts every single byte of the attached file into a long string. For example, the 'D' character is sent by this string:


<multiRef id="id8" soapenc:root="0" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xsi:type="xsd:byte" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">69</multiRef>






As you understand, even a small file with the size of about 800 Kb grows up to tens of Megabytes when sent to JIRA. They have an open case regarding this behavior.
