I assume you are using this ...

>d = xmlrpclib.Binary(open("C:\\somefile.exe").read())


Are you using windows?

I think you would need to pass the binary flag to open ...

        imagedata = open(filename, 'rb').read()



It's probably a good idea to use the binary flag if you are expecting
binary data just in case it gets ported somewhere else later.

I've used xml-rpc to send image data before. It worked.
