php - Sending binary file content using JSON -


i've written rest interface owncloud app. i've method getfilefromremote($path) should return json object file content. unfortunately works when file i've specified in $path plaintext file. when try call method image or pdf status code 200 response empty. returning file contents use file_get_contents retrieving content.


note: know owncloud has webdav interface, want solve rest only.


edit code server side (owncloud):

public function synchronisedown($path) {     $this->_syncservice->download(array($path));//get latest version     $content = file_get_contents($this->_homefolder.urldecode($path));     return new dataresponse(['path'=>$path, 'filecontent'=>$content]); } 

the first line retrieves downloades content on owncloud server , works completely.

you have base64_encode file content make json_encode/decode handle properly:

return new dataresponse([     'path'=>$path,     'filecontent' => base64_encode($content)  // convert binary data alphanum ]); 

and when receiving file via second side, have always:

$filecontent = base64_decode($response['filecontent']); 

it's one, ones of easiest way handle that. btw, sooner or later find mime-type useful in response.
