Hello,

the "inline" protocol is just menat to be used in emergencies to run a few commands, but I agree, it's lame you can't quote strings, so I just fixed it in the 2.8 and unstable branch.

Cheers,
Salvatore

If you want to do this via telnet you need to use the binary-safe
unified protocol as described in http://redis.io/topics/protocol (which
is of course a little hassle to type on an interactive telnet session)

Otherwise use redis-cli or another client library.
