That's what I believe as well. While ns_http is a different code base - I think both suffer from the same binary termination issue. I'm not sure if we saw this when using nsob with the old DCIRPC protocol - but we never used it for binary, so when we moved to HTTP we probably never thought it to be problematic.

Check out dcicommon/rpc.c and dcicommon/server.c (I think).

SOB isn't encoding-aware and is actually really naive--it doesn't handle
binary data well.

Not sure if this it related, but I was just looking at ns_http for an unrelated purpose and it appears that it is not binary clean at all, since it uses Tcl_SetVar which expects a null-terminated string. Getting binary files typically resulted in a 4 byte response, could be that an average jpg file has a null at byte 4.
