This is the right way to do it.

In AOLserver 4.5, ns_write is the only command that accepts a binary data.
You also need to be careful you don't accidentally change it's type
once you've created it.
set blob [myblobcmd]
set length [string length $blob]
# blob now garbled utf8 :-(

Something like...
ns_startcontent -type application/octet-stream
ns_conn write_encoded false
ns_write $blob
