It mentions character text for a reason. Non-text binary data is represented
using symbols other than ASCII characters, and CF can't handle those
symbols. There's no easy way to work with binary data within CF,
unfortunately, and you can't simply retrieve the binary data and push it
directly to the browser. CF 4.5.x does provide some functions for working
with binary data, but no way to output that binary data. You can work with
binary data using a couple of workarounds, though; I suspect you may be able
to retrieve it and write it to a file, then use CFCONTENT to retrieve the
file and push that to the browser.
