reading protobuf values

[NotYoCheese]

I am trying to read memcached values that are protocol buffers, however I always get a nil result with no error. If I set a key with a test string myself from lua-resty I can read it back. I can also echo get KEY | nc memcached_server 11211 and see that the protobuf encoded value is present. Seems like a common use case, am I missing a config option?

@NotYoCheese Maybe you use special characters in the memcached keys? This library encodes the keys by URI escaping sequences by default. You can turn that off. Read the docs please.

@NotYoCheese If it's not that problem, then please provide a minimal and standalone example that we can easily run and reproduce the problem on our side. Just try removing as many things as possible as long as the issue still persists. Thank you. Otherwise we cannot really help you debug the issue at all.

I'm so sorry. It was actually the url encoding of the keys that was the issue. All our keys are in the form of "prefix:key" and the colon was being url encoded. When I set a test key of sf:test to a string from resty-memcached, of course it was found. I resolved this by creating a no-op function:
function noop(s)
return s
end

and passing it in to the new function:

local memc, err = memcached:new{key_transform = {noop, noop}}

I read a post about the binary protocol not being supported and I conflated that with binary values not being supported. Thanks for responding so quickly.
