Mimetool won't work with control characters. Printable ascii only. Try
this script and select binary mode to send the file. That might work. Transferring binary files between platforms is dicey though.

fpassthru
FPASSTHRU(3) 1 FPASSTHRU(3)
fpassthru - Output all remaining data on a file pointer
SYNOPSIS
int fpassthru (resource $handle)
DESCRIPTION
Reads to EOF on the given file pointer from the current position and writes the results to the output buffer.
You may need to call rewind(3) to reset the file pointer to the beginning of the file if you have already written data to the file.
If you just want to dump the contents of a file to the output buffer, without first modifying it or seeking to a particular offset, you
may want to use the readfile(3), which saves you the fopen(3) call.
PARAMETERS
o $handle
-The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen(3) or fsockopen(3) (and not yet closed by
fclose(3)).
RETURN VALUES
If an error occurs, fpassthru(3) returns FALSE. Otherwise, fpassthru(3) returns the number of characters read from $handle and passed
through to the output.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Using fpassthru(3) with binary files
<?php
// open the file in a binary mode
$name = './img/ok.png';
$fp = fopen($name, 'rb');
// send the right headers
header("Content-Type: image/png");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($name));
// dump the picture and stop the script
fpassthru($fp);
exit;
?>
NOTES
Note
When using fpassthru(3) on a binary file on Windows systems, you should make sure to open the file in binary mode by appending a b
to the mode used in the call to fopen(3).
You are encouraged to use the b flag when dealing with binary files, even if your system does not require it, so that your scripts
will be more portable.
