Storing images in database is a bad idea GENERALLY. But on GAE you can't write the file system, so you have no other choice for persistent storage.
And you will see garbage instead of image if MIME type incorrect or unsetted. In general case the web server (e.g. Apache) will set it for you automatically (if its configuration is correct). But if YOU serve the files (as in case of GAE) instead of the web server, then you must to set the MIME type in the HTTP header. Example for a JPEG file: Content-Type: image/jpg See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME for details. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
