Rather than slurping the entire file into memory, why not just

fileStream := FileDirectory default readOnlyFileNamed: fullFilePath.
fileStream ifNil: [^ false].
fileStream converter: nil.
HttpResponse current: (HttpResponse fromStream: fileStream.


or even:


fileStream := StandardFileStream readOnlyFileNamed: (FileDirectory default 
fullNameFor: fullFilePath).
fileStream ifNil: [^ false].
HttpResponse current: (HttpResponse fromStream: fileStream).


The problem with calling #binary is that it changes the interface to the 
stream: #next and #next: return SmallInteger and ByteArray objects instead of 
Character and String objects.
