$Web_Put_Binary: Add binary string to response buffer

$Web_Put_Binary sends a binary string to the client buffer.

Note: $Web_Put_Bin is a synonym for the $Web_Put_Binary function.

$Web_Put_Bin is a callable $function.

$Web_Put_Bin takes a single required string argument and returns a status code.

Syntax

%rc = $Web_Put_Binary( bin_string )

%rc	A numeric variable to contain the returned status code.
bin_string	A "binary" string that is added to the client buffer without any translation. Since the client buffer is always sent to the browser without translation, the binary contents of bin_string will be received by the browser. Under Sirius Mods Version 6.7 and later, $Web_Put_Bin is longstring capable: it can send a longstring with a length greater than 255 bytes.

These are the $Web_Put_Bin return codes:

Code	Meaning
0	Binary string sent to the client buffer
-1	Invalid call, not a Web thread
-4	Missing argument

This sample shows a binary image in .jpg format being sent from a %variable to the client buffer (the image would have to be pretty small, given the 255 byte limitation on %variables):

%X = $Web_Type('binary/jpeg') %X = $Web_Put_Bin( %companyx_logo ) Stop
