Sorry. Obviously didn't make myself clear.

return context.restrictedTraverse('/LDML/images/ldml.gif')

gives me the string

<img src="http://127.0.0.1:8080/LDML/images/ldml.gif" alt="" title="" 
height="120" width="120" border="0" />

But what I'm after is the actual binary image file. How do I get this?

Thanks
