`And I try to put a key by

curl "http://localhost:5001/api/v0/dht/put?arg=/ipns/QmZYNu1popeREco3ccYEgLt8UbcE4wi2LbNrKMP7jGtut1&arg=label:"hello"type:17reps:1reps:2reps:3&verbose=true"

Getting error response :

{"Extra":"record could not be unmarshalled","ID":"","Responses":null,"Type":3}
`

I followed the instructions from the Ipfs dot doc https://docs.ipfs.io/reference/api/cli/#ipfs-dht.

I published my key by using ipfs name publish and try to put the key and value in dht table. its not working.

note : dht is in experimental feature of ipfs.

You probably don't want to use this API.

1. The value needs to be a valid, signed IPNS record protobuf (e.g., something returned by ipfs dht get).
2. ipfs dht put doesn't actually work due to dht put doesn't interact well with binary data #5112.

I've improved the documentation and fixed the second bug in #6750 but that PR needs tests.
