How to load a binary file ?

Need to load something that is not a html or txt file.
I tried a GetToString() but that fails. I checked my server and it says it completed with a 200 status and all the bytes transfered.

What I'm trying to do is load an .itc file. Then strip off the iTunes header and
save it in the tmp: directory as a .jpg

Is there a GetToBinary ?

Even tried it by changing the mime type of .itc to txt

Re: How to load a binary file ?

roUrlTransfer has a GetToFile(String filename) method that can save the contents of a url request to a file.

Please see Section 4.25 of the component reference manual.

Re: How to load a binary file ?

Try roUrlTransfer.GetToFile. (See component reference for details)

Then use roByteArray to do binary reads/writes. (See BrightScript reference for details)

Store your temp files in the tmp:/ partition, and remember to delete it when finished.
