Binary woes!

[RossC0.Pico]

Hi,

I'm recieving a base64encoded string (png file) from a webservice.

I'm trying to write the file and output the image. But I'm having problems
converting the string back to binary - invalid characters come in:

<cffile action = "write" file = "test.png" output="#toBinary(return)#">

Outputs the lots of ? characters and fails to write a valid image.

However if I use:

<img src="data:image/png;base64,#return# ">

It outputs the image to screen (in firefox) - So I know the binary encoded
string has come across fine.

Can I set the character set for the ToBinary function ?

I've also tried to change the webservice result to be xsd:base64binary - but
cfMX throws an error also.

Any ideas or suggestions please post!

Sorted - it outputs the binary different to screen than php - but it did encode the file properly - once I allowed it permissions to access the file! doh!
