Looking for best option

["Bruce Reynolds" <bruce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Finally after getting the responses I was looking for (With Magne's help) I
am now looking for suggestions on how to best code the application.

Here is the pseudo code:

1) Make a request for an Image ID based upon a value that I have stored in a
database file.
2) Parse the response and extract out the Image ID.
3) Make a request for the image data for the parsed Image ID
4) Save just the <BASE64DATA> into a stream file.
5) Use the BASE64R4 api to convert the stream file which will leave me with
a tiff file
6) Display the tiff file to the browser (customer's browser's have a plugin
to view tiff image)

When I request the image ID (3) I get returned something to the effect of:
<IMAGE>
  <ID>346307898</ID>
  <IMAGESIZE>8908</IMAGESIZE>
  <BASE64DATA>...</BASE64DATA>
</IMAGE>

>From previous email postings I understand that base64 data should not be
converted to EBCDIC which would mean I should use one of the "getRaw"
procedures so that it doesn't get translated.  The problem is that I have to
find out where the start and end of the BASE64DATA is.  I could let the
api's translate the response into EBCDIC and save the BASE64DATA data into a
stream file and then use http_xlate to convert it back to ASCII and then run
base64_decode against the converted file but that seems rather backwards.  

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bruce
