Dain:
Thanks for the info, however this does seem to work. I try to access the
picture via the ldap protocol:
ldap://law-ldap.georgetown.edu/uid=batesm,%20ou=Specials,%20o=Georgetown.EDU
,c=US?jpegphoto
and in Netscape it shows ok. However, if I try to directly link to it in a
template like:
<img
src="ldap://law-ldap.georgetown.edu/uid=batesm,%20ou=Specials,%20o=Georgetow
n.EDU,c=US?jpegphoto">
it does not work.
Also, your suggestion to use the 2-step approach below does not seem to be
bringing any results (broken link to image). It is also kind of hard to
debug. If I try to output the photo result that I get back from the LDAP
directory is only 5 characters, which if I try to TOBASE64 I get the first
few characters of the image.
I guess either the LDAP tag does not return the whole image (only the 1st 5
characters), or there is a manipulation or a step somewhere that I am
missing.
Can anybody help me with that? I posted this to forums.allaire.com but
nobody has responded there yet either.
Thanks in advance,
Dimo Michailov
