Problem emitting binary files

[toml01]

Hi. I am using this library, version 2 (socketIO-client 2). I had trouble emitting binary files in chunks. this is the code:

progress = 0
dumpSize = os.stat(s_dummyDumpPath).st_size
dumpFile = open(s_dummyDumpPath, "r+b")
while True:
    piece = dumpFile.read(1024)  
    if not piece:
        # Sending finish message to server
        serverSocket.emit(s_fileSendFin, { })
        break
    progress += len(piece)
    serverSocket.emit(s_fileReq, {"name": s_dummyDumpName,"progress": progress * 100 / dumpSize, "buffer": piece})
f.close()

And I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "CTedAgent.py", line 40, in <module>
    serverSocket.emit(s_fileReq, {"name": s_dummyDumpName,"progress": progress * 100 / dumpSize, "buffer": piece})

    return encode_string(str(packet_type) + packet_data)

    return x.encode('utf-8')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x90 in position 30: ordinal not in range(128)

Couldn't find any answer over the web :(

We haven't gotten around to adding binary support yet.

I think @feus4177 has a fork that adds binary support. https://github.com/feus4177/socketIO-client-2

I'll try to see if we can integrate his changes in January.

Hope in the new year,we will get the binary support by author
