Hi,

Unfortunately json doesn't support binary data; the representation in redis-cli is escaped. You can call the URL with a ".bin" suffix to get the raw data.

Cheers, Nicolas

Thanks very much for the reply. As you can see I'm new to json.

What I really want to do is subscribe to binary data. Is that possible natively in webdis?

Otherwise, I might just base64 encode instead.

Cheers, Brad

@b1c9g76 By "subscribe", do you mean receive events using a pub/sub channel? If so, it is possible but I would advise using base64 encoding to make sure your JS application (if that's the client code) can read the data without issues.
