Sending Base64 Over Sockets.

I am trying to send a file over sockets (base64 encoded) and am getting differing results at the other end of the transfer. I have an image of the client and server to give you an idea about the problem I am having.
Server:
Client:
I basically want to get the same result as the server in the client window. The code to send is as follows:
Code: Select all
command PROT
put the URL "binfile:c:\windows\temp\test.jpg" into BASEVAR
put the base64encode of BASEVAR into BASE64
global IPADDRESS
write BASE64 to socket IPADDRESS
end PROT
Any ideas would be great!
Many Thanks,
Matthew.

Hi Google85,
you are reading the image as TEXT file, use BINFILE instead!
And always use the SLASH as a pathdelimiter INSIDE of Livecode!
You only need to supply platform specific (well, Windows only
)
pathdelimiter when using SHELL command with pathnames!
Code: Select all
command PROT
put URL("BINFILE:C/Windows/temp/test.jpg") into BASEVAR
put base64encode(BASEVAR) into BASE64
global IPADDRESS
write BASE64 to socket IPADDRESS
end PROT
Best

I figured that out myself, but instead of sending a JPEG (which looks garbled) I tried a .WAV file and it plays but it is really distorted and scratchy. Is my data being corrupted over the transfer?
Many Thanks,
Matt.
