First a question for you. Are you BASE64-encoding the buffer? It's a modest pain but that encoding was designed to ensure reliable transport of binary data between systems.
How? The decoder isn't affected by systems that convert a newline into a carriage-return/newline (e.g., when you transfer a file in the default mode in FTP). It isn't affected by protocols that drop the top bit. It can be reliably delivered by all of the standard protocols.
