Trouble adding jpeg image to Netscape 4.1 directory server via ldap

[Ken D. <ken...@sy...>]

Excuse a newbie question, but I am trying to do something simple and add an entry
to a Netscape Directory via perl-ldap with a jpeg photo. 

The problem I am having is that the jpeg photo doesn't seem to get added correctly.

I am using the same basic sample code from the Mozilla FAQ:

$filename="test.jpg";
if (-e $fileName) {
         open(JPEG, $fileName) || die;
         while (sysread JPEG, $buf, 1024) {
             $jpegimage .= $buf;

         }
      } else {
         open(JPEG, $NOPHOTOJPG) || die;
         $jpegimage=<JPEG>;
         while (sysread JPEG, $buf, 1024) {
             $jpegimage .= $buf;
         }
      }
      $entry->{jpegphoto} = $jpegimage;

Anyone had problems using this code to add binary data such as a jpeg photo
to the Netscape 4.1 directory server?


Thanks,

Ken
