Generating an inline-image with java gwt

Question

I'm trying to write an inline-image using Java GWT. The image however does not display:

It seams to me that the reason for this is, that I'm encoding it the wrong way with base64, or that the charset is wrong.

For when returning the following code of a pic I found on the web, everything works (so its not, that my browser can't display inline-images):

<img src="data:unknown;base64,R0lGODlhDwAPAKECAAAAzMzM/////wAAACwAAAAADwAPAAACIISPeQHsrZ5ModrLlN48CXF8m2iQ3YmmKqVlRtW4MLwWACH+H09wdGltaXplZCBieSBVbGVhZCBTbWFydFNhdmVyIQAAOw==">

Here is how I generate my pic-code. I open an url and try to base64-encode the result:

try {
    IoProvider.get().makeRequestAsText(url,
        new ResponseReceivedHandler<String>() {
          public void onResponseReceived(ResponseReceivedEvent<String> event) {
            final Response<String> response = event.getResponse();
            if (response.getStatusCode() == HTTP_OK){
            callback.onSuccess("data:unknown;base64,"
                + Base64.encode(response.getText()));
            }
          }
        }, options);
} catch ...

Thats the base64 encoder I use: http://snipt.net/tweakt/gwt-base64/

Any ideas, why the generated image is not valid?

EDIT:

I rewrote my code a little, based on your answers. Here is how it looks like now:

IoProvider.get().makeRequest(url,
  new ResponseReceivedHandler<Object>() {
    public void onResponseReceived(ResponseReceivedEvent<Object> event) {
      final Response<Object> response = event.getResponse();
        if (response.getStatusCode() == HTTP_OK) {

          // not working
          callback.onSuccess("data:image/jpeg;base64,"
              + Base64Utils.toBase64(response.getText().getBytes()));

          // working image
          // callback.onSuccess("data:unknown;base64,R0lGODlhDwAPAKECAAAAzMzM/////wAAACwAAAAADwAPAAACIISPeQHsrZ5ModrLlN48CXF8m2iQ3YmmKqVlRtW4MLwWACH+H09wdGltaXplZCBieSBVbGVhZCBTbWFydFNhdmVyIQAAOw==");
        }
      }
}, options);

The edited code produces the following code:

I also tried converting the charset:

try {
  callback.onSuccess("data:image/jpeg;base64,"
    + Base64Utils.toBase64(response.getText().getBytes("ISO-8859-1")));
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { }

Which produces that code:

How can I pass response to an Base64 encoder, without converting it to String?

response.getData() is an object and I like to have it as byte[].

Answer 1

2 probable reasons:

1) Your server-side code reading the image and sending it through HTTP is messing with the encoding of the binary format of the image before entering to Base64.encode(response.getText()). If you've access to the server-side, Base64.encode your image on the server and just pass it through:

callback.onSuccess("data:unknown;base64,"+ response.getText()); // response already in Base64

2) If you don't have access to the server side, try avoiding the String translation of the response.getText() call.

new ResponseReceivedHandler<byte[]>() {
    public void onResponseReceived(ResponseReceivedEvent<byte[]> event) {
        final Response<byte[]> response = event.getResponse();
            if (response.getStatusCode() == HTTP_OK){
                callback.onSuccess("data:unknown;base64," + Base64.encode(**response.getData()**));
            }
        }
     }, options);
} catch ...
