Hi Tony,
The REST API can only access bucket and keys that are UTF-8 strings. A
request for "foo/%00%0009" is the same as:
{ok, C} = riak:local_client().
C:get(<<"foo">>, <<"%00%0009">>).
The protobuffs and native Erlang clients do not have this restriction which
may lead to scenarios where data cannot be accessed by the REST API. Bucket
and key values should be chosen appropriately when REST API access is
required.
Thanks,
Dan
