In my Ruby on Rails application I tried to upload an image through the POSTMAN REST client in Base64 format. When I POST the image I am getting a 406 Not Acceptable Resp

You mentioned you're using Ruby on Rails as a backend. You didn't post the code for the relevant method, but my guess is that it looks something like this:

def create
  post = Post.create params[:post]
  respond_to do |format|
    format.json { render :json => post }
  end
end

Change it to:

def create
  post = Post.create params[:post])
  render :json => post
end

And it will solve your problem. It worked for me :)
