Implementing SPOP from haproxy

[goo...@me2digital.com]

Hi all.

I want to implement the SPOProtocol from haproxy.

This is a binary protocol defined in http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.8/doc/SPOE.txt

Due to the fact that I'm new to golang I would like to here some experts opinions about my plan.

I would like to use https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3 to decode the protocol.
I'm not sure if the protocol-buffers are designed for such a binary protocol.

I'm not sure if it's the right tool the other option I know is to create everything from scratch.

What's your opinion to this topic?

Thanks for your help.
