Comment (by tracguest):

 I have had the same problem and I have found a possible solution.

 I have implemented a patch (attached file) that modify the
 RemoteControllerTool module:

    1. Add a constant key "BINARY_FILE_TYPE = 'file_type'" to define the
 type of the uploaded file (It is suppose to be a File object, but if we
 want to upload Images we have to make a distinction).
    2. New implementation of the _editDocument method, where we have to get
 the file_type variable from the doc_def dictionary:
       {{{
          file_type = doc_def.get(BINARY_FILE_TYPE,None)
       }}}
    3. And where we check whether the file is an Image or a File (in
 _editDocument as well):
       {{{
        ...
        if file is not None:
            if isinstance(file, Binary):
                file_id = generateFileName(file_name)
                # Checking whether the file is an Image/Photo or a File
                if file_type is 'Image' or 'Photo':
                    doc_def[file_key] = Image(file_id, file_name,
 file.data)
                else:
                    doc_def[file_key] = File(file_id, file_name, file.data)
                elif isinstance(file, File):
                    # CPSDistantPublisher is able to directly send File
 instances
                    doc_def[file_key] = file
        ...
       }}}

 In a test:

    {{{
    ...
    f = open('<image.gif>')
    binary = Binary(f.read())
    f.close()
    ...
    doc_def = {'Title': <doc_title>,
               'Description': <doc_desc>,
               'file' : binary,
               'file_name' : <photo_name>,
               'file_key' : 'photo',
               'file_type' : 'Image',
               }
    try:
        proxy.createDocument('News Item', doc_def, 'workspaces', 0, 'No
 comment')
    except:
        print 'Error'
    ...
    }}}

 where:

     * "<doc_type>" is the type of the document to be created.
     * "<doc_def>" is a dictionary containing the document data:
           * "Title" is the title of the document
           * "Description" is the document description
           * "file" is the binary instance of the uploaded image.
           * "file_name" is the name of the uploaded file.
           * "file_key" is the name of the ATTRIBUTE where the image is
 going to be stored (schema!).
           * "file_type" is the type of the uploaded file: Image/Photo or
 File

 After these changes, the test create a 'News Item' with image with no
 problem.
