    Exclamation DnsQuery_A response encoding issue

    Hey guys,

    I have a program that uses DnsQuery_A that is making a TXT request to download raw hex strings in the TXT response. This all works nicely and the TXT data contains the same raw data that I sent, until I send the following string:

    Code:
    \x4f\x10\xf5\x95\x07\x98\xa8\xec\x76\x8b\x4f\x38\x5d\x9e
    When I retrieve this data from the DnsQuery_A TXT field I get the following string:

    Code:
    \x4F\x10\x07\x3F\x3F\x76\x4F\x38\x5D\x3F


    If you can tell me why this is happening, and how I can get the raw data returned, that would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Sounds like you have a bug...

    If you found this answer less than helpful, you might consider your question, which provided no code, no description of how you convert the data, no example of what does work, etc.

    Because you did not take the time to ask a 'smart question', the 100 odd coders here who could possibly answer your question, looked at it and all ignored it.
