Getting a Binary Reponse using Curb

Rails
1

Hi guys,

I am new to ruby. I have the following problem.

I have a rendering engine that will take a svg and a set of params and
return a PNG image.

If I use curl on the command line passing the SVG it returns the image
as PNG and everything looks good.

I am trying to issue the same command using CURB but I have no idea how
to get the binary body.

I tried the following code:

  def get_product_image_curl(svg, image_name, w, h, region,

alignment)
preview_url =
“http://#{APP_CONFIG[‘preview_server’]}/merchandise/#{image_name}?region=name:#{region},w:#{w},h:#{h},a:#{alignment}”

  c = Curl::Easy.new(preview_url)
  svg = URI.escape(svg,

Regexp.new("[^#{URI::PATTERN::UNRESERVED}]"))
c.http_post(Curl::PostField.content(‘design’, svg,
‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’))

  return c.body_str
end

The body returns empty

The curls that works (same svg)
curl -v --data-urlencode [email protected] “http:///merchandise/344_480x480_Front.png?region=name:FrontCenter,w:23,h:63,a:TopCenter”

prod.png

Any idea how to get the body our of the response?

Thanks in advance
