ActionWebService... how to return base64?

Hello friends…

I’m hoping MY thread has more responses than other AWS threads I’ve
found in my searches.

Anyway, I’m returning a Track object, defined by this schema:

create_table “tracks”, :force => true do |t|
t.string “name”
t.integer “user_id”, :limit => 11
t.binary “track_data”
t.binary “warn_data”
t.boolean “published”
t.datetime “created_at”
t.datetime “updated_at”
t.integer “background_id”, :limit => 11
end

It works great… except that AWS 2.1.0 (from datanoise -
http://github.com/datanoise/actionwebse … ree/master) seems to be
interpreting my binary data as STRING! It is being returned as
datadatadata. This is a huge problem as it causes
issues with the parser, as the binary data is not being encoded in
base64 prior to being output (I think).

Anyway I would really appreciate some help. How can I force my binary
columns to be output as base64?

Thanks folks!
