@gyzerok I believe this would allow us to remove this any cast:

However, the type is not clear, I think it must be string, why not Uint8Array?

@bpasero yeah you are right.

I was planning to update the version once we are finished with the PR I have currently open, but you beat me to it :)

However, the type is not clear, I think it must be string, why not Uint8Array?

It has to be string indeed. With Uint8Array it won't work. I misunderstood the source code and it is actually mistake on my side. It is fixed in the currently open PR as

const binaryString = encodeLatin1(limitedBuffer.buffer);

Oh yeah, forgot about that. This PR will not be merged until Friday or Monday next week since master is currently blocked for feature work.

@gyzerok fyi master is open for 1.48 July work, so feel free to remove that any cast in a new PR.
