What means: Failed to decode protobuf?

[albirs]

after some hours of running mollysocket (as container in portainer) i found in the logs this error: . . . [2023-12-20T13:30:11Z INFO mollysocket::ws::websocketconnection] WebSocket handshake has been successfully completed [2023-12-20T13:36:07Z INFO rocket::server] GET / text/html: [2023-12-20T13:36:07Z INFO rocket::server::] Matched: (discover) GET / [2023-12-20T13:36:07Z INFO rocket::server::] Outcome: Success(200 OK) [2023-12-20T13:36:07Z INFO rocket::server::] Response succeeded.

after restart the container the error has gone for now...

I couldn't find any meaningful information about this error on the internet

Thank you very much

Protocol buffer wire type 6 and 7 do not exist, the buffer must be corrupted: https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/encoding/#structure

... and is this an problem for that mollysocket works properly and needs to fix it? or doesn't matter?

[p1gp1g]

Does it happen often to you ? It shouldn't be a problem, mollysocket reconnects afterwards

[albirs]

its very irregularly, one day up to 7 times, other day it not happen...

[p1gp1g]

I'm seeing this with the same recurrence too. We can ignore it

I'm also seeing this in mollysocket's log. mollysocket remains completely functional

I think we can close this issue. If you see this error, you can ignore it.

after update to version 1.3.0 i just notice that this message appears every 5-6min now:

I also see this occurring every 5 minutes or so. Maybe we can ignore it but it's still noise in the logs. Can we do something to fix it?
