Binary protocol

[chendo]

Are there plans to support the binary protocol? I had a quick look at the RFC to see if I can implement it quickly but it doesn't return the key in the response which would make it rather difficult...

No plans at the moment to support binary protocol. Largely because we aren't using it (yet) and secondly as you point out, it gets a lot more difficult :)

This should go into the README to save people time. Many Rails projects have switched to Dalli, which uses the binary protocol, and I poked around for a while trying to figure out whether I was doing anything wrong before I though about looking through issues for mentions of binary protocol compatibility.

If anyone would like to contribute a patch, that would be awesome. Until then, I'll close this out.

Thanks everyone!
