Subject: problems sending binary data in cgi

Hi there,

I'm trying to send binary data (e.g. gif file) to a web browser using
the following code:

f = File.open(gif_filename, "rb")
content = f.read(filesize)
f.close

print "Content-type: image/gif\n\n"
print content

I'm using ruby for windows. I'm getting problems because every 0x0a
will be converted to 0x0d 0x0a. Must I use another method to print
binary data for output? I've found nothing in the ruby documentation.

Cheers,

Helmut
