@kallewesterling, what's this issue for? Please can you add further information about why this is needed.

This is correct. I have added some guidance to the other issue for documenting this process.

@RichGriff We have extended the API to support the upload of images to an Azure Storage Account, now hosted under the Assurance Platform subscription. For uploading an image, do the following request: POST https://staging-eap-backend.azurewebsites.net/api/cases/<assurance-case-id>/image, sending the file in the media key and, as usual, the authorization token as a header. The response looks like this:

For retrieving the URL of the image associated to a case, just do a GET https://staging-eap-backend.azurewebsites.net/api/cases/<assurance-case-id>/image, again including the authorization token in the header. The response looks like this:

Please let me know if you need further development in the server side.
