Error when trying example counter app

[zaibon]

I'm running tendermint version 0.11.1.

I started a tendermint node and the example counter app from the readme. Then I tried to send a transaction with curl: curl "http://localhost:46657/broadcast_tx_commit?tx=0x01" but got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Zaibon - You have to properly serialize the transaction you are sending. See the examples directory and look at the corresponding helloworld client.
