What is an OCTET-STREAM file? The OCTET-STREAM format is used for file attachments on the Web with an unknown file type. These.octet-stream files are arbitrary binary data files that may be in any multimedia format.

The OCTET-STREAM format was developed for Web browsers to understand that the file attachment is in an unknown file type, which also allows the user to choose to download and save the attached file in any file format that the user wants. In other instances, the OCTET-STREAM file format is used to inform the user that the attached file may be saved in a recommended file format. This also allows the Web browser to enable the user to know the recommended file format for the attached.octet-stream file. These OCTET-STREAM files may be opened by renaming the extension of the attached file to a specific file extension, and then by using an application with support for opening such files. For example, an.octet-stream file may be renamed to a.txt file (if it is indeed a.txt file), and Notepad may then be used to open the file. This means the user needs to know the file type of the attached.octet-stream file before renaming the file in the correct file extension. • What is a file extension?

A file extension is the characters after the last dot in a file name. For example, in the file name 'winmail.dat', the file extension is 'dat'. It helps Windows select the right program to open the file.

Tools that I'm using for this: Chrome Notepad++ Sublime Text 3 Fiddler WinMerge Adobe Acrobat Reader X Synopsis I have downloaded a pdf twice, once through Chrome as an experimental control; once again through a raw /GET request via Fiddler which returns me an octet-stream. To this point, I can save the octet-stream as pdf and I can get the proper page count and some of the page headers and numbers, but very little of the body content is loading. When I open my file in Adobe Reader X, I get an error that it Cannot extract the embedded font 'LFIDTH+ArialMT'. Some characters may not display or print correctly and I cannot work through why it can be extracted from the 'true' pdf but cannot from the one I am saving. Details As for my manual pull of the file, I have provided Accept: application/pdf, application/x-pdf, application/x-gzpdf, application/x-bzpdf The server sent me back an aplication/octet-stream with an attachment Disposition.

So to recap: • Valid Foo.pdf sitting on my hard drive • HTTP Response with an octet-stream version of same file, in UTF-8 encoding (I assume) Here is what I know: I pulled the Message Body of the response from the server and dropped it to file. I then ran a WinMerge comparison of it against the contents of the pdf and every line mismatched on line endings. I re-encoded the EOLs for Unix and the diff shrank to ~1k lines out of 160k.

A close inspection of the mismatch indicates that the valid pdf maintains what looks like a NUL 00 character in places whereas my octet-stream contains literal spaces. Also, the 'true' pdf is reporting EOL: LF 1252 Mixed through WinMerge. My 'raw' pdf is reporting 1252 Unix When I homogenize the 'true' pdf to 1252 Unix, I get the same issue as I explained in the 'raw' one.
