I Googled this but couldn't find an answer but it must be a common problem. This is the same question as Node request (read image stream - pipe back to response), which is unanswered.
How do I send an image file as an Express .send() response? I need to map RESTful urls to images - but how do I send the binary file with the right headers? E.g.,
<img src='/report/378334e22/e33423222' />
Calls...
app.get('/report/:chart_id/:user_id', function (req, res) {
//authenticate user_id, get chart_id obfuscated url
//send image binary with correct headers
});
There is an api in Express.
res.sendFile
app.get('/report/:chart_id/:user_id', function (req, res) {
// res.sendFile(filepath);
});
