I would like to use HTTPCaller to grab the contents of a file from a webserver and store it in an attribute as a binary and then use a FeatureReader type of transformer to parse the binary attribute. I thought I was able to do this before, but I can't figure out how I may have done it.
Hi @jamesblake, I don't think the FeatureReader can be used to directly parse the contents stored in an attribute of an incoming feature. Why not save the download contents into a temporary file with the HTTPCaller and then read it with a FeatureReader?

Depending on what format the binary is, it may be possible with something like a RasterReplacer.
