Getting a Binary Reponse using Curb

Hi guys,

I am new to ruby. I have the following problem.

I have a rendering engine that will take a svg and a set of params and return a PNG image.

If I use curl on the command line passing the SVG it returns the image as PNG and everything looks good.

I am trying to issue the same command using CURB but I have no idea how to get the binary body.

I tried the following code:

      def get_product_image_curl(svg, image_name, w, h, region, alignment)           preview_url = "http://#{APP_CONFIG['preview_server']}/merchandise/#{image_name}?region=name:#{region},w:#{w},h:#{h},a:#{alignment}"

      c = Curl::Easy.new(preview_url)       svg = URI.escape(svg, Regexp.new("[^#{URI::PATTERN::UNRESERVED}]"))       c.http_post(Curl::PostField.content('design', svg, 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'))

      return c.body_str     end

The body returns empty

The curls that works (same svg) curl -v --data-urlencode design@472712874.svg "http://<render

/merchandise/344_480x480_Front.png?region=name:FrontCenter,w:23,h:63,a:TopCenter" prod.png

Any idea how to get the body our of the response?

Thanks in advance Dalmer Azevedo
