binary protocol?

[Dieterbe]

Hi, from a quick glance it seems only the text based protocol is supported. Any plans to support the binary protocol?

thanks. Dieter

Hi Dieter,

I dropped such plans because I have currently no time for this. Would really like to have such an implementation since its faster and more reliable. Do you have any interest in supporting the project?

regards,

Tim

Hi, sorry, no time/interest.

This project looks promising for binary protocol support -- https://github.com/billywhizz/node-memcache-parser

@jstockdale.

wow cool - didn't see that yet... thats a good possibility to integrate it into node-memcache

i'll have time over the weekend to play around with it ;)

thanks!

I have a fork of this project with support for binary.

@ddopson I checked your code, but it doesn't seem to have an ability to store binaries, does it?

[ddopson]

binary data should work. the fixes were around how the Buffer objects were being handled. As long as it's all ASCII data, you can be a bit sloppy. When you have arbitrary binary, you have to be careful about when charset conversions happen.

I have try node-memcache and memcached libs, memcached has some issues with multiline, node-memcached do not work with binary data, but mc was the answer for me. http://overclocked.com/mc/
