good idea, since the browser could send you binary data with a POST method
(for example), and you will want to send images as binary data. Of course
you can use READ-IO and WRITE-IO to read/write binary data on a /string
port, but shouldn't we avoid those functions if possible?

That's a very good point. Thanks for pointing it out, Gabriele. I'll see if
I can do it better, by using binary mode.
