you have to store that data in a binary variable. here's a snippet you can use that employs this method:

Code:
alias sockwritesp {
  var %unlikely = $chr(28)
  if ($sock($1)) {
    bset -tc &a 1 $replace($2, $chr(32), %unlikely) $+ $crlf
    breplace &a $asc(%unlikely) 32
    var %i = 1
    while ($pos($utfencode($1), %unlikely, %i)) {
      bset &a 1 $asc(%unlikely)
      inc %i
    }
    sockwrite $1 &a
  }
}


you can use it as $sockwritesp(<sockname>, <data>) to send that data with a trailing CRLF and multiple spaces intact.

can you provide a minimal example of a snippet of code with which you notice a significant difference?
