Loading Images from MySQL db to view in CI

[eluser]vickel[/eluser]
thanks for coming back with help
@elvicmic: I'm using "headers"; what I know, character set for blob should make no difference; the host is superb.net, very professional. Anyway I'm not using any image url, as i'm uploading directly to the blob.
@ GeoXeo: yes, I tried different sizes, yes 64kb, yes maybe in CI I'm loosing a byte or 2

resuming: the writing works fine ! the reading works fine, too !! BUT ONLY if I use the script OUTSIDE CodeIgniter's framework. The exactly same script in a CI controller function (or as a standalone controller) gives me the problem.
