so, i've figured out that the entire blob stream is not being fully retrieved, only 29 of the 5513 bytes are being retrieved:
in my debugging: here is an experimental / expanded of the above function::: table, id, field, stream, and d are all working. but the d[field] under stream.write(d[field]) seems to only retrieve 29 bytes of the 5513 total bytes, as verified by the binary file write i have below. def getbinary(): table = db[request.args[0]] id = int(request.args[1]) field = table[request.args[2]] try: stream = StringIO() d = db(table.id==id).select(field).first() stream.write(d[field]) except: return CAT('exception getbinary():', BR(), 'table:', table, type(table), BR(), 'id:', id, type(id), BR(), 'field:', field, type(field)) #data = base64.b64decode(data) #data = data.decode('base64') f = open('/opt/web-apps/web2py/applications/tms/out1.png', 'wb') f.write(stream.getvalue()) f.close() return CAT(type(stream), BR(), stream) response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'image/png' return response.write(data, escape=False) -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
