Hi,

If your application permits, you could also send the binary as-is (without 
any base64 encoding) and do the encoding where and when it is needed. Or 
handle the encoded binary as a regular binary, send it and decode it on the 
Erlang side.

If you send "normal" Erlang objects, you don't need to use OtpOutputStream 
at all, it is handled behind the scenes by for example OtpMBox.send/receive.

Yes, for storage, you don't need any magic header, for transmission you do.
