I believe Chris's suggestion was to base64-encode the full message, not the subproto, or you'll run into other problems down the line, since it sounds like your transport can't handle arbitrary byte sequences.
IOW, something like response.response_proto = heartbeatResult.SerializeToString() self.sendMessage(base64.b64encode(response.SerializeToString())) Or even better, stick the b64encode into sendMessage itself (and matching b64decode in the receive logic). But best still would be to figure out why your transport doesn't seem to be handling arbitrary byte sequences. -ilia On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 1:24 PM, <chrisg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Chris, > Your suggestion of trying base64 worked on the nested > protobuf.
