Re: base64 Encode a tiff image.

I want to encode a TIF image stored on the IFS and to embed it into

I know that by open() the IFS file, then QDCXLATE(), and
base64_encode() -of course using Scott's tools- do the magic, but has
to be by reading in a loop the buffer returned by open().

However, I want to save some extra programming by avoiding the loop
and convert the full streamed file in one single step (I'm already
using CGIDEV2-LoadStreamFile that returns the streamed file).

I found that I can use 'iconv' API from QTQICONV service program to
do this conversion, does somebody can share an example of parameters
to be used for 'iconv'?.


Perhaps just my ignorance, but where is there a need for dealing with character conversions when the original data is "image"?
