Hello.
I convert images in base64 via bash. The target is to send this base64 string to node-red via http... and display the image on the dashboard.
I send the content of TEST1 with:
curl --data-binary "@TEST1" [http://192.168.1.133:1880/nodeRed/LG200](http://192.168.1.133:1880/nodeRed/LG200)
The content of TEST1:
att1=/9j/4AAQSkZ................BQX54B9V+H1AAI8RyE0NiAoL88AX............
Importand part is the V+H
The code in the Template Node:
`
What i do wrong?

Update:
I add now a "String" node and replace all " " with "+".
Works but i guess this is a "stupid solution"

Try it like:
```auto
{{{payload.att1}}}
```
See the documentation tab for the template node:
> By default, _mustache_ will escape any non-alphanumeric or HTML entities in the values it substitutes. To prevent this, use `{{{triple}}}` braces.

Hello.
This was my first try:
`
`
doesn't help. Base64 string is still defect
Tripple {{{}}}
With the string node (and OK):

I imported your flow and i notice that in the **template** node (the one that is wired to the **ui\_template** node) .. you had it set as `msg.payload` instead of `msg.template`
Try making the change and see what you get ( with triple brackets )
.. also wire a **complete msg Debug node** after the _template_ ( the orange one 😉 ) to double check if the base64 is rendered as expected and that its not something with the angularjs `ng-bind-html`

The same.
I guess the main issue is directly after the HTTP Post Node.
If i send with
`curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "@test" http://192.168.1.30:1880/LG200` the content from file "test"... is there any special format required.
Atm the content is:
`att1=/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEA8ADwAAD//gBpRmlsZSBzb3VyY2U6IGh0dHA6Ly9jb21tb25zLndpa2ltZWRpYS...............`

I changed now the content to JSON
{"att1":"/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEA8ADwAAD//gBpRmlsZSBzb3VyY2U6IGh0dHA6Ly9jb21tb25zLndpa2ltZWRpYS..............."}
looks like this works

I took a look at the source code to see why the image isn't showing
The image data is placed with
`data:image/jpg;base64,.....54B9V H1AAI....`
instead of:
`..... src="data:image/jpg;base64,.....54B9V+H1AAI...." .......`
The flow:
