I am trying to implement a simple REST API that returns some binary data to a user (it could be BSON format or just the RAW binary data).

Say I define the following interface: 

@getRootPathFromName
interface MyAPI
{
    @path("getdata") @method(HTTPMethod.GET)
    ubyte[] getData();
}

class MyImpl : MyAPI
{
    override ubyte[] getData() {
       ubyte[] the_data;
       the_data ~= 1;
       the_data ~= 2;
       the_data ~= 3;
       return the_data;
    }
}

Running code like this returns the text '[1,2,3]' in JSON format. If I want to send the binary data (or perhaps a file - say .png or .jpg) how could I handle this.

So I guess this was a dumb question :o)
