Allow binary blobs about github HOT 4 OPEN

Or, should the recommended approach be that implementors of the API encode the data before calling write()? I guess that would work too.

@hannesl Sorry for delay in replying here, I'm helping Michael clear old issues.

Good points and a tricky one. I'd be hesitant to auto encode anything without the user being aware of it, but then I can see encoding as being useful. Probably the best solution here is to encode it before calling on the API. However if you do want to put in a pull request re encoding I'd look at it, but would have to be as an optional argument.

@mattpass Was this ever dealt with? There seems to be some binary file handling in postBlob, which I'm looking at briefly due to #149.

@Aendrew Nope, was awaiting a pull request and going to check that out. Nothing submitted or coded by myself here.
