Hi Wakan,

I don't know how things are now with the newest release, but as of
1.0.5, TCPStream was made for sending text, not binary data.

This was the reason why I implemented my own BinaryTCPStream on the
client side and a binary streaming server (BinaryServer derived from
TCPSocket and BinaryPort derived from SocketPort) - which might not be
portable as I used it solely on windows. And things got more difficult
on the server because I needed a responsive server even one request was
currently being processed.

There sould be an example in the library how to implement your own
SocketPort as far as I can remember.
