[Shazbot]

I am attempting to create a webservice that pushes back a binary file by request type..

Suggestions?

Use a Byte array as a return value.

Response.ContentType must be set dynamically

And REsponse.BinaryWrite(...) must be used to stream your content.
Or Response.WriteFile() can be used as well..
Or use Response.OutputStream (does not cause your binary to be on written
disk)...

I think this solution wouldn't wrap the file into a SOAP message...

I understand. I forgot that.
DIME has been developed for that.
