Re: displaying binary images

It is a base64 byte array of the format of a png file. If I write the array to
disk as a png file with that extension, it opens fine in the browser. The
problem is that I do not want to have to save it directly to a disk. I want to
just display it directly to the browser.

It seems less likely to be the right way to this since the signature data is probably arbitrary binary data which would encode properly as Base64 but might not have a valid string representation in ASCII since ASCII allows a much reduced set of characters and will not deal well with unprintable values and nulls. ...
