[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-10) operator that returns the content of a Stream as either a String or Binary value

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-10?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=32640#action_32640 ] 

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-10:
------------------------------------

We already have a way to refer to the raw value of a stream using /$value. We don't support expressions in $select (see ODATA-9), but if we did support expressions in $select we could do something like:

http://odata.netflix.com/v2/Catalog/Titles?$select=Name,icon/$value as image

> operator that returns the content of a Stream as either a String or Binary value

> OData could be extended with an operator that returns the content of a Stream as either a String or Binary value.
> This could be expressed as:
> http://odata.netflix.com/v2/Catalog/Titles?$select=Name,streamAsBinary(icon)
> or
> http://odata.netflix.com/v2/Catalog/Titles?$select=Name&$extendedSelect=streamAsBinary(icon) as Icon
