Thanks @bherrmann, will take a look...

:thumbsup:

@bherrmann Fixed

Can planck handle reading in binary files into a buffer? My attempt at google-fu is returning results that start with (require '[<http://clojure.java.io|clojure.java.io> :as io])…

@manutter51 Yes. <http://planck.io|planck.io> has input stream and output stream abstractions just like <http://clojure.java.io|clojure.java.io> (as contrasted with reader and writer abstractions)

Ok, I got that far, but I’m drawing a blank on how to move data from the input stream into a byte array. I need to load a 22K file.

@manutter51 You would like a single array that looks like #js [7 1 32 ...] ?

Maybe? I need to post a file to a web server for some code I’m testing. The file I’m loading is the multipart form data, including some file attachments in binary.

I can just slurp and go with a text-only file, but as soon as I include binary data the POST request times out

which I assume is because you can’t safely use slurp with binary data.

Ahh, @manutter51 https://github.com/planck-repl/planck/issues/651

Ooo, that looks promising, thanks!

I suspect it is a trivial change to make to the code, but not supported yet.

Ok, I can try lumo instead, I’m sure node supports that sort of thing

Yeah, it must

Good enough, that’s what I needed to know, thanks.

Cool
