getBlob returning broken image

[JayIsPainting]

Continuing on from this #1840

I now have my code properly posting to the point where I am getting a getBlob response for all my posts.

https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:vo37i5ooqwooxgkmbc3277kt&cid=bafkreiagmyiuh3xc73zuxbsodrtu547j7zcdfufbgutpcolf7cez5dgpba

but what I get back is a broken image.
<img style="display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;" src="https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:vo37i5ooqwooxgkmbc3277kt&amp;cid=bafkreiglzozwphua6jngmlupuyzoblu7d2a3iqz44s755ntaclmlnqzyje">
I thought my CFML/JAVA code was doing something to the post data so I switched to curl but this produces the same result.

curl https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.uploadBlob -F "file=@E:\test.jpg" --header "Authorization:Bearer [redacted]" --header "Content-Type:image/jpg"

Seems like it should be working but yet...

My createRecord json is:

It looks like you're trying to upload the file as if it were a form field, which is incorrect.

curl -d "@E:\test.jpg" [rest of options here] will probably do what you want

[JayIsPainting]

That throws {"error":"InternalServerError","message":"Internal Server Error"}

[JayIsPainting]

fwiw -d doesn't but - -data-raw works. But the image is still broken.

[JayIsPainting]

I was unable to get curl to work so I went back to using CFML and got it to work. (yay!)

it was all about how the image was being passed

local.imageFile = "E:\test.jpg">
local.imageFile = filereadbinary(local.imageFile) //convert to binary

and then in cfhttp use type="body"

cfhttpparam(type="body" value=local.imageFile)

Hi, I hit the same. with curl you want --data-binary not --data-raw.

I don't know what the difference is, except one works and the other doesn't.

[jay-elizaga-dev]

From the man page of curl:

--data-raw is almost the same but does not have a special interpretation of the @ character. To post data purely binary, you should instead use the --data-binary option.
