Basically I open an icon file rb, read() it into a string, then spit it back down on a web request for /favicon.ico. It works fine under unix, but under Win32 Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005 ... It comes back corrupted. Similiarly I have a string with the IBM-extended-ASCII degrees symbol (ascii 0xb0) that is read in from a network-connected field device. Somehow this ends up with an extended 'A' (with a single dot over it.) prepended before it. Is there some sort of new 2.4 string encoding option I've missed ? Never seen anything like this before. I have the # -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*- atop my files. Are you writing this as a CGI process in Apache/Win32? Have you redefined your stdout to be binary? By default, Python opens its stdout as binary, so when you write this out to the socket, the file system will helpfully translate 0A to 0D/0A. You need something like this: import msvcrt msvcrt.setmode( 0, os.O_BINARY ) msvcrt.setmode( 1, os.O_BINARY ) -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. ___ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2005 10:04:24 +1000 From: Kinsley Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] I checked the icon, it seemed to be ok. I'm unfamiliar with win32 tools, but it seemed that the data being delivered from the socket rendered differently from a python print() compared to a terminal 'type icon.ico'. I cut the code out and tested it in isolation - this showed it to be flawless. Despite appearing correct in other software the binary identical icon appears broken in IE 6.something. for what its worth, had a similar problem serving up images from a Python CGI script running on Apache on WinXP. what worked for me was adding the -u switch to the shebang #!E:\Python23\python.exe -u -u : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr (also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x) see man page for details on internal buffering relating to '-u' hope this helps ___ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

I don't think the MIME type of image/bmp is acceptable to IE. Should be image/vnd.microsoft.icon or image/x-icon, but NOT image/bmp (icon files having different format than bmp files) Gabriel Genellina Softlab SRL ___ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
