1. In that case, I hope it allow sending binary data (non-ASCII) also.
2. If I encode my data in base-64 form, is there a limit on size of the data I can pass (or I can pass arbitrarily large amount of data).

So those 26 characters you specified were base64 decoded which gives
you 18 bytes of raw data.
The clue is in the variable name 'buf-b64' - a shorthand for base64:
