Yes! I am not sure where this was introduced, but the payload is block of 
arbitrary octets. It could be a jpeg, JSON, CBOR or other. The CoAP PDU has 
length and buffer. The string functions should never been used or introduced.

I am not sure if it pre-dated the CA rewrite, but it should not have survived 
it. I pointed it out in several CA reviews.
