Output Image from Web Server to Web Browser

 [1/3] from: vonja:sbcglobal at: 11-Oct-2008 22:12


Hello Rebol Group: I'm attempting to output a binary image from a server (i.e., Linux) cgi script to a web browser using the below codes but I've been unsuccessful. I've scoured Rebol sources on and offline to no avail. Thanks in advance for your help. --Von For example: Rebol [] data: read/binary %/some/image.jpg print "Content-Type: image/jpg^/" ;; or "Content-Type: image/jpeg^/^/" ;; or "Content-Type: image/jpeg" write-io system/ports/output data length? Data ;; or print data ;; or print join "Location: " data ;; with or w/o print join "Expires: 0" newline

Von This is what I do in Cheyenne - code taken from my web to hylafax portal recvqdir: %/var/spool/hylafax/recvq/ file: dehex request/content/filename switch suffix? file [ %.tif [ response/set-header 'Content-type "image/tiff" ] %.pdf [ response/set-header 'Content-type "application/pdf" ] ] response/set-header 'Content-disposition join "attachment; filename=" file response/buffer: read/binary join recvqdir file file On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 6:12 PM, Von <vonja-sbcglobal.net> wrote:

Hello Graham, I appreciate your response. Unfortunately, I attempted to apply your code with some modifications but I was unsuccessful. I WAS able to resolve the issue so if anyone is interested for a future project there will be a simple solution. I did take advantage of your switch suffix? Statement :-) It should read as: Rebol [] data: read/binary %/some/image.jpg print ["Content-Type: image/jpg" newline] ;; or replace newline with "^M^J" write-io system/ports/output data length? data ;; the below lines will not work ;; or print "Content-Type: image/jpeg^/^/" ;; or print "Content-Type: image/jpeg" ;; or print "Content-Type: image/jpeg^/" ;; or print ["Content-Type: image/jpeg" "^/^/"]
