Base64 decoding - perl & openssl vs. html embedded image

I am having a strange problem. I have a TIFF image stored in a SQLite database encoded as Base64. When I retrieve the Base64 characters, save them to a file using an applescript writing a utf-8 text file to disk (or just saving it in TextWrangler), and then try to feed that file into openSSL using the Base64 decoding option, I get an empty file or just a small (not nearly large enough) file that will not open. BUT! When I put that same string into a img tag using base64 decoding in an HTML document, it displays properly in a browser window. Anyone have an idea why this might happen? It does not work using perl either.
The html code is here: http://web.me.com/danaleighton/base64.html
The file I am feeding into openSSL is here: http://web.me.com/danaleighton/base64sm.txt
I am using the following command: openssl enc -base64 -d -in base64sm.txt -out testscript.tiff
This perl command also does not work: perl -i.txt -MMIME::Base64 -e 'undef $/;while(){print decode_base64($_);}' base64sm
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

it's most likely the text you're extracting from the database is either corrupted or wasn't encoded as you expect. Note that your success with the img tag decoding may be misleading. I can't give you details that apply to this case, but browsers typically use smarter decoding tools which are more robust ...
1) Was the text in the database produced by an internal encoder or was it obtained either from a standard e-mail attachment or produced by this command or its equivalent?:
Thanks Ray - I was afraid of that. I am extracting the image from a database written by a commercial application. I checked with the developers, and they said it was base64, so that's all I have to go on. I reported this anomaly to them but haven't heard back in over a week.
2) Are you sure you're retrieving exactly the same bytes that were stored in the database?
As sure as I can be. For testing, I invoke sqlite from a shell to do the select statement and dump the result to the terminal. Then copy and paste from terminal to a TextWrangler document. I have done the same with an Applescript.
One complicating factor: the text stored in the database has these weird markup tags that I can't find any documentation. They look like this: <iimg><preferredFilename>Embedded image</preferredFilename><segment>TU0AK...=
</segment><segment>UdSVL...=
</segment></iimg>
I strip these out of the field coming from the database.
To isolate the problem...
Unfortunately, since I am not creating the database, I am loath to write to it. I could, but since the problem is likely in the way the developers are encoding or storing the data, it wouldn't do much to solve my problem...
Thanks so much for your suggestions!! Very helpful.

Mac Mail has problems to display HTML embedded images

Well Im new here , but have a real problem.
I create HTML pages with embedded images and send them off as MIME/multipart etc. mail through active server pages.
So far so good. All PC users see the mails with 2 embedded images at correct positions using windows e-mail .
However all Mac users receiving this mail have a problem, then MAC mail show embedded images just as a box , the 2 images become attachements of the email.
If a PC user forwards such a received HTML e-mail to a MAC user , the MAC Mail sees the 2 images are correctly displayed.
Thanks for hints and comments .

Hello BDAqua
Thanks for the dump hint - I could use it.
Well I have not been able to track down the exact cause of the problem, but at the end I have succeeded to see the pictures even on the Mac. Initially , because I tested the HTML code against Safari/Foxpro/IE9 with success and the PC's received it as a mail perfect with the pictures , I ruled out the code.
After sending it with various different parameters for 7-bit coding , multipart/alternative; multipart/mixed, with and without alternative ascii-text body, etc. and having no change of the problem (in one instance Mac stuck the pictures at the end of the mail instead of having it as attachement - but never displayed inside the page) I thought about the HTMLcode again (the mail small but was consisting of a cluster of multi nested tables, where in the pictures where placed). I started from scratch with one simple table and one picture - and saw it also on the Mac, so repeated reconstruction every table layer and picture with testing each step again - and at the end - it worked all. So my conclusion is that the mentioned browsers and windows mail are made more HTML fault tolerant for little code mistakes than mac mail. It seems that when forwarding the page from windows-mail to Mac mail , windows even corrects and thats why then it was seen ok on the Mac.
I think that a number of people had similiar experiences. I contacted one advertising company (all Mac freaks and only Mac's there, they do a lot of Internet/Intranet design and develeopments for large companies) and asked them wether they know of any hints or problems - they simply said forget it it's not possible - which is not true - but seeing the HTML correct in all browsers doesn't mean it might ok for the mac mail.
Well any way I now know where I am and know where to look if suddenly a picture is not shown anymore...
Thanks for the help and all the best.

Embedded image in html body of the email is not appearing in Outlook mail box

My application Basically gets the un delivered emails from the outlook account.Composes the email from information then also appends the signature of email.The signatures may be multiple , form will show these signatures as a dropdown usin webbrowser control there both image as well as links appear well.But the same if draft them to outlook drafts folder the image in the signature misses and shows image not available.II fetch the signature from user local signature folder , convert it base64 string and set the string as source for image element and append this body of the email.I basically use Outlook COM object to achieve thesepublic void AddImageContentToHtml(List<TamDetails> tamList,string html,string key)

Hi ssanjay.brillio,
According to your description, you'd like to send a email with an embedded image in the signature.
I suggest you sending the image in the last of the body of email instead of operating the signature of email.
The following example codes demonstrate how to send email using ImportHtml method with embedded images.
SmtpMail oMail = new SmtpMail("TryIt");
SmtpClient oSmtp = new SmtpClient();
// Set sender email address, please change it to yours
oMail.From = "[email protected]";
// Set recipient email address, please change it to yours
oMail.To = "[email protected]";
// Set email subject
oMail.Subject = "test HTML email with embedded image";
// Your SMTP server address
SmtpServer oServer = new SmtpServer("smtp.emailarchitect.net");
// User and password for ESMTP authentication, if your server doesn't require
// User authentication, please remove the following codes.
oServer.User = "[email protected]";
oServer.Password = "testpassword";
// If your smtp server requires SSL/TLS connection, please add this line
// oServer.ConnectType = SmtpConnectType.ConnectSSLAuto
try {
// Import html body and also import linked image as embedded images.
// 'test.gif is in c:\\my picture
oMail.ImportHtml("<html><body>test <img src=\"test.gif\"> importhtml</body></html>", "c:\\my picture", ImportHtmlBodyOptions.ImportLocalPictures | ImportHtmlBodyOptions.ImportCss);
Console.WriteLine("start to send email with embedded image ...");
oSmtp.SendMail(oServer, oMail);
Console.WriteLine("email was sent successfully!");
} catch (Exception ep) {
Console.WriteLine("failed to send email with the following error:");
Console.WriteLine(ep.Message);
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

UTL_SMTP send HTML email with embedded image?

Hi, I can use UTL_SMTP to send an HTML email ok, but does anyone have an example of how to include an inline embedded image in the email? Thanks!

If you want to send the html page and have it
reference the images and css files on your web
site, that's pretty easy. Just create a message
with text/html content that is your html page.
If you want to include all the images and css files
in your message along with the html page, you'll
need to create a multipart/related message and
you'll need to change all the html to reference the
images and css files using "cid:" references.

OBIEE v11.1.1.5 - Cannot view embedded images ( PDF/HTML)

Hi Everyone,
I have a OBIEE 11g report with embedded images and I scheduled to run every week using an agent.
When I specify Delivery content and format as ( PDF or Plain HTML ) the email does not display any images
Error if format is HTML : The linked image cannot be displayed. The File moved,renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.
I also tried printing to pdf, but images are not displayed.
Tried using both fmap and html syntax to link images. Has any one encountered this issue in v 11.1.1.5 ?
Please suggest
Thanks

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

MIME emails not showing embedded images

Hello.
When I receive e-mails from a GroupWare solution (extra.groupcare.dk), embedded images are not shown in Mail 3.4. If I use Gmail or any version of Microsoft Outlook, even Mail 2.1 on Tiger it works fine.
The images are shown as mime-attachment-x, and can be viewed with quick look.
Here is an example of the original message.

Hope you can help!

I tried to convert your base64 code and it seemed valid.
The situation you describe is normal to me, though, because I have unticked "Show external images in HTML-messages" in Mail's preferences to save bandwidth when I'm on a mobile connection or similar. Whenever i get one of thoses HTML-mails, e.g. from iTunes Store with a lot of missing images, there will be a blue field at the top of the mail window stating that "This messages contents unloaded images" (or whatever the English translation would be). Additionally, there's a "Download images"-button to get the the missing images.
I don't want to be unpolite, but could that be the case for you too?

insert into ANUP(MAILID)VALUES(blob_to_clob(l_clob));
V_CLOB := blob_to_clob(V_BLOB) ||'" alt="Site Logo" />
<p>The end.</p>

One major caveat, though. For my purposes, I just wanted to be able to

I've changed to avoid using characters that have special meaning on the

line breaks; it just creates, or decodes, a character stream without
line breaks, so you'll need to add line break logic if you need to deal
with MIME format files, or Base64 files with line breaks in them.

OBIEE 10G Embedded Image not displayed on PDF

Hi
We have some embedded images (source on network share or on the webserver) on a dashboard. On the screen the images are displayed without problems.
But if we want to print the dashboard (f.e. PDF) the images are not printed. In html-view the images would be displayed.
Is there a known bug that images can't be printed on dashboard pages or do we have to embed them different?
Thank you

Hi Team,
I do face the same issue of image not displayed in only pdf output format. Our client has deployed OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 using Weblogic application server and is accesible through a secured url access.
I have followed the fmap syntax to locate the image, also made sure the image is getting accessed through url, tried with different images of different sizes . In all cases the image display is appearing fine in HTML & Excel output. But not getting displayed only for pdf output.
Can you please help me with this regard if am missing any specific setup for pdf output. Is there is any pointers or documentation available to get around this issue.
Thanks in advance.

OBIEE 11G Embedded Image not displayed on PDF

Hi
I have some embedded images on a dashboard. On the screen the images are displayed without problems.
But if we want to print the dashboard (f.e. PDF) the images are not printed. In html-view the images would be displayed.
All the images are referenced with the fmap path.
Any way to print the images in the pdf ?
Thank you

PrintDataGrid's DataGridColumn - Embedded image not printing when you use TextFlow in the item rende

I'm printing a datagrid using something like this...
<mx:PrintDataGrid
id="printDataGrid"
width="100%"
height="100%"
showHeaders="false"
borderVisible="false"
horizontalGridLines="false"
variableRowHeight="true"
dataProvider="{titles}"
>
<mx:columns>
   <mx:DataGridColumn
    itemRenderer="renderer.TitlePrintRenderer"
    />
</mx:columns>
</mx:PrintDataGrid>
TitlePrintRenderer.mxml has s:RichText component. I use RichText's textFlow property to render the text. The approach is working fine except that if the textFlow has embedded images (<img source=... />), the images are not printed!
Is this a bug? Is it a limitation? Has anyone come across this issue?
I'm using Flex SDK 4.5.1

After struggling for 4+ days on using timer / events for printing PrintDataGrid with embedded images in RichText's textFlow, I tried your other suggestion... to convert <img> tags to InlineGraphicElement and give it Bitmap from image loaded from a .gif file. The approach works but the printout skips images in a few rows!
I've this test case in which, every time I print, it skips printing image in the second row! I also implemented this approach in a more complex test case and depending on the total number of rows, it would skip printing image in different number of rows. I'm suspecting that even if you construct InlineGraphicElement from bitmap loaded from an image, PrintDataGrid's renderer still skips printing image intermittently.
I would very much appreciate it if you could create small project from my following code and verify this behavior. I'm at my wit's end in getting this printing to work.

Why can't I print embedded images in a Thunderbird E-mail? I just get blank boxes for the images.

I am a copyeditor who receives feedback from my clients re: manuscripts I have edited. They will often sent e-mails that include small screen captures from parts of their style guide or screen captures of the proof that is in question (small sections, like a paragraph or an equation, or a header that needs to be coded/styled differently for HTML). Now, I can see these fine in the e-mail, but when I go to print them out for my reference binder, the embedded images don't print.
Mozilla, I need these to print; they are quite important to my job.
To keep my e-mail from becoming too bloated, I save these important style issue e-mails into a folder on my desktop I call "Print out for binder", queuing them for the day I can print a bunch of them out and arrange them according to subject matter.
Problem is, they are useless if they don't include these illustrative screen captures; blank boxes are worthless to the context.
It is not my printer that is the problem. if I receive a Word doc with these screen captures, they print fine. But if I try to print from T-Bird, no go. Help. (I can't save these e-mails as Word docs either, which might solve the problem; the only options in T-Bird are "Save as file" or "Save as template".)
Thunderbird is a powerful e-mail program, and one I have been using for over a decade. Why can't it perform this function? Please help. Or point me to an add-on. I haven't been able to find one that addresses this seemingly straightforward, common, and simple problem.

When you select File(or AppMenu/Print)/Print Preview, do the images appear? Do the images print if you check 'Print background (colors & images)' under File/Page Setup? I don't have any problems printing a message with an embedded image, at least to an xps file.
I devised a workaround that might help, failing a real solution: install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/unmht/ unMHT] in both TB and Firefox, and then File/Save As MHT in TB. Open the mht file in Firefox, and Print.
