gollark: `send_binary`?
gollark: ```java byte[] data = arguments.length > 0 && arguments[0] != null ? (byte[])arguments[0] : new byte[0]; computer.addTrackingChange( TrackingField.WEBSOCKET_OUTGOING, data.length ); channel.writeAndFlush( new BinaryWebSocketFrame( Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(data) ) );```^ Probably hopelessly wrong
gollark: It compiles with 18 warnings! Now to test the thing somehow.
gollark: In *this* case the problem is that I can't figure out how to convert the `Object` argument passed in into a `byte[]`, which is probably not right anyway but I have no idea.
gollark: "The libraries involved", then.
