One thing about this: make sure to use CFSILENT to ensure that the first
character of your output is the first character of the GIF file. Also
note that CF debug output will kill you.
Secondly you may have to use some combination of ToString() and
ToBinary() to do this. For example the following happily places a
single pixel GIF on the screen with no file system access:
<cfsilent>
<cfsetting showdebugoutput="No" />
<cfcontent type="image/gif; charset=8859_1">
</cfsilent><cfoutput>#ToString(ToBinary("R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAE
AAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw=="))#</cfoutput>
That's probably a little more complex than you need since I used
Tobase64() to encode the graphic (but this makes for a "fully printable"
string - just using ToString() creates a lot of non-printable characters
- something that may not matter to you).
In my case I was aiming to store the encoded graphic in a database, thus
the ToBase64().
