connection.send should accept different data types as per spec

[majek]

Spec says that send method should accept string, Blob, and ArrayBuffer data types as a parameter. We should support that.

Apparently, types Blob and ArrayBuffer are quite new. The support for this stuff was added to chrome like a month ago. We should indeed support this stuff, but it can be done later on. For now we should only support unicode.

Isn't it easier to support those data types than unicode ? At least they are not hit by surrogates conversion problems.

[majek]

@kapouer: I don't know. We should support at least one of those two: proper unicode or binary data. In the perfect world we would support both. I'm aware of that.

Does SockJS now support: binary / blob / ArrayBuffer?

Any plans to get this done?
