Binary write.

[Fernando Chilvarguer]

I'm having problems with a simple binary write.
The page is just supposed to write a JPEG back to the browser but the image
does not display (the "X" image shows).
Any help is appreciated. Here's the full code:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%
Response.Expires = 0
Response.Buffer = TRUE
Response.Clear
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fl = fso.GetFile("c:\afterWF.jpg")
Response.BinaryWrite fl
%>

No rights on reading c:\ ?

The Internet Guest Account has full rights for that file (read, write,
etc..) When testing, I added the "response.write(fl.Name)" line and it
displayed the file name. Making me assume that the file is being read into
the fl object correctly.

Fernando, it was just a suggestion.

I think that you might be better off using an ADODB stream than the FSO for
binary files. Code like so:

<%
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
Set oStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
Response.BinaryWrite oStream.LoadFromFile("C:\afterWF.jpg").Read
oStream.Close : Set oStream = Nothing
%>

It worked!!!!

Thanks!!

PS: I had to add oStream.Open before loading from the file

Ray, you are so important to this NG and your conviction is well known,
I won't quarrel with you about that.

==========================

But then sci.lang.translation taught me that:

overquoting = quoting to much, [and you do not]
underquoting = quoting not enough

topquoting = bottomposting
bottomquoting = topposting
interquoting = interposting

Aw, shucks... Thanks Evertjan.

Damn web-based usenet access.

topquoting = bottomposting
bottomquoting = topposting
interquoting = interposting

I like that list of terms. Thanks. Interquoting would be my quoting of
choice, I suppose.
