KDB autotranslation get

I am running into a bug when setting a KDB variable as a beaker object and then getting it from KDB:

.bk.s[foo; til 380]; .bk.gfoo; works as expected .bk.s[foo; til 390]; .bk.gfoo; raises the error kx.c$KException: unclosed } at 1912

The part that produces the error is only getting. The variable is well set and can be retrieved from another language like python.

Trying to debug, I ran `$.bk.bc_get["/rest/namespace/get?name=", "foo"]

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

and

count .bk.bc_get["/rest/namespace/get?name=", "foo"] 2000

It seems that for some reason the response from the HTTP GET is cut after 2000 characters.

As a side problem, the way beaker displays q strings is a bit annoying. Q strings are just character arrays and beaker displays them as such :

["H","T","T","P","/","1",".","1"," ","2","0","0"," ","O","K","\r","\n","C","o","n","t","e","n","t","-","T","y","p","e",":"," ","a","p","p","l","i","c","a","t","i","o","n","/","j","s","o","n","\r","\n","S","e","r","v","e","r",":"," ","J","e","t","t","y","(","8",".","1",".","1","3",".","v","2","0","1","3","0","9","1","6",")","\r","\n","\r","\n","{","\n"," "," ","\"","n","a","m","e","\""," ",":"," ","\"","f","o","o","\"",",","\n"," "," ","\"","s","e","s","s","i","o","n","\""," ",":"," ","\"","Q","k","L","P","f","g","\"",",","\n"," "," ","\"","v","a","l","u","e","\""," ",":"," ","["," ","0",","," ","1",","," ","2",","," ","3",","," ","4",","," ","5",","," ","6",","," ","7",","," ","8",","," ","9",","," ","1","0",","," ","1","1",","," ","1","2",","," ","1","3",","," ","1","4",","," ","1","5",","," ","1","6",","," ","1","7",","," ","1","8",","," ","1","9",","," ","2","0",","," ","2","1",","," ","2","2",","," ","2...

Casting them as symbols forces beaker to display them in a more readable way, but it would be more convenient if by default beaker could print strings like in a q console.

Thanks for your help!
