Subject: [ruby-talk:17562] writing arbitrary data to a socket

Continuing my investigations into my Ruby network hardware emulator, is there a
reasonable way to write essentially arbitrary data to a socket?  What I want to
be able to do is write data consisting of something like the following:

typedef struct all_thing {
	uint32_t	a;		
	uint8_t		b;	
	uint8_t		c;	
	int8_t		d;	
	uint8_t		e;	
	uint32_t	f;	
	uint64_t	g;	
	char_t		data[0];	
} thing;

where the final member is an arbitrarily long sequence of characters.

Do I need to convert my data to a string of ASCII characters in order to write
this struct to a socket?
