Hi

ACE 12.0.7

I'm trying to use a flow to do the following:

Read a .jpg file from location http://something  -> Compute node to set up JSON Output for input to S3 Connector node  -> S3 Connector node

I get the .jpg from the website fine (debug shows that it's a binary file beginning with x'ffd8ffe000104a' as expected)

I set up the Compute node ESQL as follows:

        SET OutputRoot.JSON.Data.Key = abc;
        SET Environment.JSON.Data.BucketName = 'xyz'; (for the override variable in the S3 Connector node)
        SET OutputRoot.JSON.Data.ContentType = 'image/jpeg';
        SET OutputRoot.JSON.Data.content = InputRoot.BLOB.BLOB;

The output is written successfully to the S3 bucket, but not as a binary file. My check for this is to download the file from the bucket and read it using MS Paint. The open using MS Paint fails - "not a valid bitmap file".

I also tried setting ContentType = "binary/octet-stream" and "text/plain" - same result.

How can I write the .jpg file to the S3 bucket as a binary file (i.e. in the same format that I retrieved it from the external website) ?
