Well, what are these void-arrays for real? I mean, they contain data what does not make them really void, does it?

They represent an array of anything; the user can pass ubyte[] to it, or int[] to it, or char[] to it, or anything else (even string if it is in void[] or const void[]).

And how to I get received data out of Data.content[]?
How to use TcpConnection.send()? E.g. for sending a string?

Cast it to `const(ubyte)[]` then use it as a bag of bytes. That's almost always what you want to do inside.

The function signature uses `in void[]` instead of `ubyte[]` because void will accept strings and other stuff too, whereas ubyte specifically requires it to be typed as bye.

You want to use it INTERNALLY as bytes, but the external interface can accept almost anything.

Thank you very much!
Now it makes sense and I understand.
