Binary Data Transmission

[vote539]

Socket.IO 1.0 now supports binary data transmission through the WebSocket. The next release of Socket.IO File Upload will support transmitting files through this new architecture.

You can enable file transfer with buffers by setting instance.useBuffer = true on the client side.

As you use this new feature, leave feedback here. In a future release of Socket.IO File Upload, this option may default to "true" rather than to "false".

This is embarrassingly overdue but I've pushed all the latest changes to npm under version 0.3.1.

I've also pushed version 0.3.2, which is the same as 0.3.1 except that it enables binary data transmission by default.

Since binary data transmission is enabled by default, can this issue be closed?

It's been 9 months since this has been on by default, and no one has reported any problems, so it seems like a good time to close the issue.
