So, if i call ns_return from Tcl and pass data parameter, it will
be always type of String. ByteArrays are created from Tcl by binary
command only, other commands work with String types, so i need to
tell ns_return to treat data as bytearray. Tcl string
can contain binary data but it is still String and that check will
never work for binary data.
I'm afraid you are right. I also have my own (binary-aware) ns_return
somewhere
in my toolbox but never thought it would be of general interest.
OTOH, the "ns_return -binary" would look nicer but I do not
know if we'd be backwardly-compatible (guess not).
