texte = Hi. 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...
