[Javascript] Forward image via http with ajax

Fri Feb 2 16:18:14 CST 2007

Here is my progress.

I can get Javascript to download an image, it looks like it ignores  
the binary characters. For example I had a 1479 byte gif, after  
downloading it its length was 1453.

Sooo, any ideas on how to get the image via XMLHttpRequest??

Here is my code (I am using prototype.js to do some of the dirty work)
