This definitely seems to be a problem reading binary data: Here's a hex dump of the first line:

0000: 47 49 46 38 39 61 28 00 28 00 F7 9F 00 97 97 97   GIF89a(¿(¿˜ü¿óóó

It looks like Witango is choking on the NULL (00). I've tried it with other file types and the READ action only stores up to the NULL.

So does anyone know how I can read a binary file? Or do I have to complete my action in another language (shell/perl/php script)?

Are there any tricks to reading a GIF or other binary data?

My log shows:

29/07/2005 11:29:09 66.219.95.118 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -1443935312 1 723 [File Action] Read_thumb 29/07/2005 11:29:09 66.219.95.118 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -1443935312 1 723 [Query] <@ASSIGN NAME=thumb VALUE="GIF89a(


Subsequently, I check the length of the file and it is indeed seven bytes long. Yet, I've confirmed the file is complete:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -al /tmp/vcs/*thumb.gif
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1466 Jul 29 11:29 /tmp/vcs/6FB6C1AE0DF8BD7C42E9240D_thumb.gif
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /tmp/vcs/6FB6C1AE0DF8BD7C42E9240D_thumb.gif
GIF89a((������������������������������������������������������������ ���������������������� ....

So it looks like it's choking on some binary data.

thx.

Bill
