Hi,
I have a COM object that returns a binary image file. How can I write this to
the screen?
My best effort so far - which seems rather inelegant - is:
<cffile action = "write" file = "#expandpath("./")#image.gif" output =
"#content#">
<img src = "image.gif">
my attempt to improve on this was to have something like:
<img src = "imageMaker.cfm">
in a calling file where imageMaker.cfm calls the COM object and uses CFCONTENT
to return an image/gif type file. However, I run in to problems with this when
I attempt:
<cfcontent type = "image/gif" reset = "yes">#content#
because, of course, we cannot write binary files to the screen.
Is there anyway to do this without having to write the binary info to a file?
Those lucky people over at Microsoft can simply do:
Response.BinaryWrite content
