Robert,
Thx. The problem is with a READ action within a TCF.
I've made a taf that first reads the GIF with a read action, and then
correctly writes the length and file content with a Results Action.
The taf then calls a method which which contains the same two actions
-- the call method fails.
I'm preparing a test case with a stripped-down TCF. One problem could
be with instantiating the object in my Application Scope, which
doesn't work on 5.0.1.065 on Linux (only the default application
stanza works). Maybe there are other problems with app scope.

I have done this many times in the past, how are you reading in the
file? Maybe attach a simple taf that doesn't work?

This definitely seems to be a problem reading binary data: Here's a

It looks like Witango is choking on the NULL (00). I've tried it
with other file types and the READ action only stores up to the NULL.
So does anyone know how I can read a binary file? Or do I have to
complete my action in another language (shell/perl/php script)?

My log shows:

Subsequently, I check the length of the file and it is indeed seven
bytes long. Yet, I've confirmed the file is complete:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -al /tmp/vcs/*thumb.gif
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1466 Jul 29 11:29
/tmp/vcs/6FB6C1AE0DF8BD7C42E9240D_thumb.gif
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /tmp/vcs/6FB6C1AE0DF8BD7C42E9240D_thumb.gif
GIF89a((����������������������������������������������������������

So it looks like it's choking on some binary data.
thx.
Bill
