Again, this is from memory, but I am pretty sure @length will work
even if null in middle of data, however, any other string method, will
not. Someone would have to do some testing to be sure. But I created
some custom http requests for images, and could get @length fine, but
will null in them, witango would blow up if I tried to use any other
string method except substring to separate text data from binary data.

If I remember correctly, <@LENGTH> and <@CALC "len(..)"> use
strlen() to
figure out the length of the string. So, these tags will stop
counting as
soon as they encounter a NULL (ASCII 0.)
Why not just put the PDF in a directory on your webserver and link
to it?

Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Link to download file
My intuition says they may be related.
Problem 1: Witango provides wrong LENGTH value with some files.
Problem 2: When content-length is off by 1 byte, some browsers will
have
problems. What kind of problems was not stated.
Robert said on rare cases when happened, it was specific to a file.
Robert - Did this problem only happen with PDFs or other file types
too?
When you have the problem, did the file download successfully but not
open via browser, or could not get to open in windows at all?
Bill - With these MacOS9 uploaded PDFs, did Witango provide the wrong
LENGTH value? Would they just not open via the browser, or could
not be
opened at all in windows?

That makes sense, but that wasn't the issue I saw. This was a huge
pdf
library, loaded into db myself from disk. When witango did the
length of
the data retrieved from db, sometimes off, rare, but it happens.
Also,
it would happen on the same pdf over and over, and none of the
others.
When using binary length function from mysql, no issues. Or, when
populating the database with a LENGTH value, calculating from RB on
the
way, no issue. The difference was usually 1 byte.

comparison (pdfs are readable in a text editor even though there are
non-printing characters) there was an extra line terminator (I
forget which one).
