Hey man,

Been using chora for a while now..  It's way cool.

I had a problem with binary files.  my php build is 4.2.  The function fgets
is not binary safe in anything earlier than 4.3.  What I had to do was on
line 102 I changed the while loop to be

while(!feof($fp)){
    $line = fgetc($fp);
    flush();
}

# echo $content;

sucks that you have to get it 1 at a time.. but this is the only binary safe
file handle reader, in earlier versions.  Everything else requires that you
pass it the file name.  Can't quit do that when $fp is a pipe.

anyways. thought you may like to know that.
