How it works

Write set key flags expiration bytes, CRLF, payload and final CRLF. Count encoded bytes rather than characters.

Payload é occupies two bytes. The default request uses 21 wire bytes including the header and CRLF framing.

Limits

Text payloads encoded as UTF-8. Keys are limited to 250 printable ASCII bytes without spaces. Expiration above 30 days is an absolute Unix time. No server request is made.
