Re: Return PDF in Rest Service

Hi All,

Thank you all for the advice.

I've made the changes to encode the PDF to Base64, but still no luck.

Does anybody have some sample code, as I'm really stuck here and need to get it to work ASAP.

I'm using Scott's YAJL tools, and HTTPAPI handle the request to the server where the PDF originates from. (Using Http_Req(), also tried http_Stmf()).

Thank you in advance,

Toni Schaake.

I understand that the PDF, when viewed as raw data is already
"garbage", but in my test the "garbage" does not look the same as the
original saved PDF. (Hope you understand what I mean here).

Probably your code (and/or the i) didn't treat the document as binary, thus it was translated from to ASCII

Make you write/read from the IFS as binary, not text.
