Detailed Description

This allows you to send a binary blob to a worker and handle its responses. The worker will receive the binary data as an argument to the "special" function (inherited from WorkerBase::special()).

Use this only on KIO workers that belong to your application. Sending special commands to other workers may cause unexpected behaviour.
