    The body is divided into two parts: image metadata and image content, which are separated with a circumflex (^). The metadata includes a set of keys and the offset of each key value in the content. Keys are separated with number signs (#). Each key includes a key name, a start offset value, and an end offset value, which are separated with commas (,). The start offset value and the end offset value represent the start position and end position of the key the image content. The pic_list parameter specifies Base64-encoded images names that are separated with commas (,). The pic_map parameter specifies Base64-encoded image content. Each key that is specified in the pic_map parameter must be paired with a key that is specified in the pic_list parameter.
