Parse Cloud Code File Request Fail

Question

I'm having some issues trying to request an image file from Cloud Clode in Parse.

This is my Parse Cloud Code:

   Parse.Cloud.define("datata", function(request, response) {
    //var message = request.params.message;
    var file = request.params.file;
    //console.log(file);
    var base64 = file.toString("base64");


    var data = new Parse.File("test.jpg", {
        base64: base64
    });

    data.save().then(function() {
        // The file has been saved to Parse.
        console.log("WIN");
    }, function(error) {
        console.log("LOSE");
        // The file either could not be read, or could not be saved to Parse.
    });
});

The problem is when I try to post the file I got this as an answer from the server:

{"code":107,"error":"invalid utf-8 string was provided"}

I'm trying to create custom endpoints for some custom hooks, that why I'm working with Cloud Code.

Anyone have any idea about how can I create and endpoint in Parse Cloud Code for requesting and creating files?

Thanks in advance.

What JSON response did you get when you POST'd the file?

You need to use the "url" value in order to GET the file.

{"__type":"File","name":"e580f231-90ba-4d24-934c-7f9e7c8652d6-picf1","url":"http://files.parse.com/1315e4d8-f302-4337-adbe-d8650ab5c312/e580f231-90ba-4d24-934c-7f9e7c8652d6-picf1"}

So, in the example above which is very similar to the response when a file type is POST'd, you would use the value of the "url" tag in a http/GET.
