<div>The AES type key should require an application/octet-stream Accept header to retrieve the secret as it is a binary type. Please replace ‘text/plain’ with ‘application/octet-stream’ in your curl calls below.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All ,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am currently working on use cases for database and file Encryption.It is really important for us to know since my Encryption use case would be using the key generated by Barbican through order resource as the key.</div>
<div>The encyption algorithms would not accept the binary format and even if converted into ascii , encoding is failing for few of the keys because some characters exceeeds the range of ASCII and for some key after encoding length exceeds 32 bytes which is
the maximum length for doing AES encryption.</div>
<div>It would be great if someone could respond to the query ,since it would block my further investigations on Encryption usecases using Babrican </div>

I would like to know wheather this is a bug from Barbican side since Barbican allows creation of the order resource with text/plain as the payload_content type but the retrieval of the secret payload with the content type text/plain is not allowed.<br>
