title: Data URI - how to create them in Java?
body: <p>I have just been told to send the thumbnail of an image using data URI. I have been searching it but all I found was that its basically a textual representation of a file and can be directly used in HTML. I could not really find how to make a data URI in Java. I have an input stream of a file. Can someone please shed some light on it and point me to a way to generate this?</p>
