Lua strings may contain 0x00 characters.

One way to improve the code returning the result would be to simply replace it with:

	lua_pushlstring(L, buffer, n);

This would get you on your way to enable sending images, for instance [something the current approach won't handle...].

You might want the check return value from the read() call as well.
