Support for binary data

[pickerflicker]

My api serves images inline, so the body contains actual data instead of json. In this case, I only want to validate that a non-0 body size is returned with the expected content type.

Hi @pickerflicker,
I'm sorry, but binary blobs are not supported in the API Blueprint format at this moment and can't be used for testing with Dredd. As a hairy workaround you can specifying empty http body and proper content-length header so testing of body will be omitted.

I see. Thanks for the tip.

hey guys,
the suggested workaround is not working for me :-/

I have a

### Get photo [GET]

+ Response 200 (image/jpeg)

    + Headers

            content-length: 6347

but it fails with fail: body: Real and expected data does not match.

Do you have any idea how to skip validating image data and only check the response status code?

Having the same issue. Would be nice to have at least a working workaround.

Looks like that would be properly supported by apiaryio/api-blueprint#20
