Re: How to use "Content-type: multipart..." with CGI

Presumably if that was an option he wouldn't be streaming it to the browser in the first place?

Sorry, but why need to send the TIFF image by URI:data scheme?

If you put the TIFF's absolute path in <param name="src"
value="/ablosute/path/tiffdocument.tif"> this must run fine.

PS: I learned a lot too from Scott Klements :)

Thank you for all of the responses.

My first task was to learn about Base64. I learned a lot from Scott
Klements (thank you!) article
http://systeminetwork.com/article/base64-built-ibm-i .

Since then I have tried several things. As previously mentioned, we use
AlternaTIFF to view our tiff images. Their documentation suggests a number
of methods to embed TIFF documents with HTML. At the moment, the most
promising seems to be the OBJECT tag. Their example looks like this -

<object width=200 height=200
classid="CLSID:106E49CF-797A-11D2-81A2-00E02C015623">
<param name="src" value="tiffdocument.tif">
<param name="negative" value="yes">
</object>

Note: the value for CLASSID forces the browser to use the AlternaTIFF
viewer.

I then searched how to use Base64 with the OBJECT tag and came up with this
-

<object id="test" width=100% height=75%
classid="CLSID:106E49CF-797A-11D2-81A2-00E02C015623"
data="data:application/x-oleobject;base64, .......Base64 data..........
">test2</object>

My problem is thast I am not sure that the encoding is properly working. I
searched for sites that would test Base64 data as well as sample Base64 data
- but I had no luck.

Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe

A little back ground -

1) We use CGI (similar to, but not CGIDEV) for our web based applications
2) We have written a web based viewer for our imaging repository,
3) We use Alternatiff to display the tiff images from our web based viewer.
These images open in a separate window and are streamed to the browser with
a mime type of "Content-Type: image/tiff". This works very well.

Now the question -

I would like to display some other HTML above the image. Thoughts on how
this could be done? I have experimented with "Content-type: multipart....",
but have not had any luck.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Joe
