As far as I can tell, mIRC does not support VT_ARRAY(binary byte arrays) when it comes to retrieving data from a COM. It'd be great to see this added, especially with the inclusion of com bvar support.
When $com().result is called, if
...the output ISN'T a bvar, convert to string
...the output IS a bvar, fill the bvar with the binary data
The use case:
Using an MS/Windows provided HTTP request object, namely SERVERXMLHttpRequest to retrieve data from a website, the body can be retrieved using .responseBody as a byte array but mIRC is unable to handle such a result, resulting in the returned value being null
