Fabien,
I am building a system that receives binary data
in an LRWP connected process. No problem, use
http_multipart_mem().
Regards.

George,
Let me be more specific.
While you are right about a LRWP process being capable of *sending* binary
data without any problem (I have tested that on JPEG files too), you are not
correct about a LRWP being capable of *receiving* binary data POST'ed to it.
For instance, try to POST a JPEG image to your LRWP process rather than
having it uploaded over FTP. You will not get what you expect.
The obvious workaround would be to UUENCODE the binary data, but I want to
avoid this at all cost. There's no reason why a LRWP could not handle binary
data.
Regards,
Fabien.
