I'm trying to output (proxying) a PDF that is stored on a third party server, via SuiteScript. It's SS 1.0 so far because it's SCA and 99% of SCA is SS 1.0.

The API responds with a raw file (not base64 encoded), which i store on a variable and send in nlobjResponse

I can't make it work. the PDF comes blank.
If i compare the file downloaded from POSTMAN vs the file, i can see inside that the content is similar in A-Z chars, but not in any other chars.
Any insights?

you are generally doomed if you dont receive base 64 in the response body

netsuite tries to interpret it as utf8 and the encoding errors will destroy binary files

That's what i suspected. Is this also true with SS2?

Thanks. To make it worse, this api sends "text/html" as content-type :smile:

:facepalm: It's definitely the api sending the wrong content type. If i download the pdf and i host the file in another server that serves static files with the correct content types, it works just fine.
