Hi all,

In the Bunny manual, http://rubybunny.info/articles/exchanges.html, it's advised to encode messages - e.g., using some binary serialization - before publishing them if you're looking for space-efficiency. However, the 'publish' method only seems to accept string payloads for which I can't find out how it will be encoded over the wire. Is it actually possible to publish pure bytes using Bunny/RabbitMQ?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Wouter

All message payloads are opaque byte streams to RabbitMQ. Bytes are framed per protocol requirements and otherwise

published unmodified. So of course you can just provide any string (or byte sequence equivalent in a different client) you please.
