Once received, it writes the data to a local file, but only so that it can use the ini_config library to parse that local file. I would much prefer to just parse the bytes directly, without writing out the data to a local file. Can the ini_config library be initialized with a byte array, or can it only be initialized with a filename?

File a ticket, I will have a look.
I think it would be a simple new call.
I however would create memory mapped file and read from it. This way I 
would be able to reuse most of the code. Would that approach work for you?
