Subject: Writing Binary Images to Screen


Hi,

I have a COM object that returns a binary image file. How can I write this
to the screen?

My best effort so far - which seems rather inelegant - is:

<cffile action = "write" file = "#expandpath("./")#image.gif" output =
"#content#">
<img src = "image.gif">

my attempt to improve on this was to have something like:

<img src = "imageMaker.cfm">

in a calling file where imageMaker.cfm calls the COM object and uses
CFCONTENT to return an image/gif type file. However, I run in to problems
with this when I attempt:

<cfcontent type = "image/gif" reset = "yes">#content#

because, of course, we cannot write binary files to the screen.


Is there anyway to do this without having to write the binary info to a
file? Those lucky people over at Microsoft can simply do:

Response.BinaryWrite content
