I found a solution for my problem (problem: read below). Instead of [include] i used [TcpConnect] to our own server (localhost) - used the GET command on the requsted file, encrypted til data with base64 and saved it in a textvar. ********************************* CODE EXAMPLE ************************************************ [text]host=yourhost.com[/text] [text]filename=filename.jpg[/text] [text]path=/path/to/file/[filename][/text] [TCPConnect host=[host]&port=80] [text]binary_encoded_data=[Encrypt method=base64][TCPSend skipheader=T]GET [path] HTTP/1.0[UnURL]%0D%0A[/UnURL] Host: [host][unurl]%0D%0A%0D%0A[/unurl] [/TCPSend][/Encrypt][/text] [/TCPConnect] Result Binary (base64 encoded) data here: [binary_encoded_data] ********************************* /CODE EXAMPLE ************************************************ BUT it would be alot better/easier if one could get binary files with the use of [include]. It would be like this [include file=binaryfile.jpg&raw=T&binary=T] Hope Smith Micro will consider this feature in a future release.... Kind Regards Morten -----Original Message----- From: Morten Madsen Sent: 26. oktober 2004 13:35 To: WebDNA Talk Subject: Include binary files in template/XML Hi I have a problem - I need to generate a XML-file with image-files included in the XML tags. At first i did not think it would be any problem - my plan was to use [write file] with the XML tags and information from the database. And in the image-tag I planned on using [include file=...&raw=t] and [encrypt method=base64] - but sadly the include can't read the file - because the file is a binary file - and not a text file. Example: [Encrypt method=base64][include file=image.jpg&raw=t][/Encrypt] I would like this to return the data-stream from from the file - base64 encoded. Honestly I really don't know much about this subject - Have anybody made Webcat read binary files? Is it posible at all? I found a way to do it using .NET: http://www.perfectxml.com/Answers.asp?ID=2 But since our system uses Webcatalog - i would prefer making a solution i webdna. Hope you guys can help me...

I don't believe that can be used. What i want is to get the data-content of a given file to be stored in a text var in a DNA template. I don't want the browser to prompt the file for download. I can't see that BinaryBody gives me this posibility - am i missing something? Or did I not state my problem clearly enough?

This makes it possible to send a binary file (image, executable, etc...) back to the client. For example, you can create download links for any type of file, and that would force the 'save as' dialog to open on the client machine. Example code: Creates a download link for every file in the current folder, binary or text. [!]Initailize the getfile variable[/!] [text secure=f]getfile=[/text] [!]Check if filename was passed in[/!] [showif [getfile]!] [text]line_ending=%0D%0A[/text] [!]Generate the response[/!] [ReturnRaw binarybody=[getfile]]HTTP/1.0 200 OK[unurl][line_ending][/unurl][!] [/!]Status: 200[unurl][line_ending][/unurl][!] [/!]Content-Type: application/octet-stream[unurl][line_ending][/unurl][!] [/!]Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="[getfile]"[unurl][line_ending][line_ending][/unurl][!] [/!][/ReturnRaw] [/showif] [!] Generate a list of download links for all files in local directory [/!] Click on a filename to download.
