Downloading an image and encoding it into base64:
curl -o output.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/USA-San_Jose-De_Anza_Hotel-3.jpg/500px-USA-San_Jose-De_Anza_Hotel-3.jpg
IMG_BASE64=$(base64 -w 0 output.jpg)
$IMG_BASE64
Output:
[...]gw3kYhrA4NAHJliv7x+uPYjyxvzx7HHWf/Z: File name too long
Why does it say "File name too long"?
