Maybe having a look on how it's done in Meiga could give you some ideas. I'm 
serving binary files with it without problems, but I use void* buffers read 
with the Posix API (tweaked by me) and a slightly more complex iterated output 
using ServerContext:

Note that this code is made to compile in Vala 0.8.1. I don't know what would 
happen if it's compiled with a more recent Vala version.
