I am attempting to send the stats command to memcached via netcat, however, I am not getting anything back from memcached...
I have tried
echo "stats" > commands.txt
nc -u 127.0.0.1 11211 < commands.txt
I have also tried
echo stats | nc -u 127.0.0.1 11211
From what I have read on the bottom of the Memcached Documentation, line 1176, the command when being sent might have to include
Each UDP datagram contains a simple frame header, followed by data in the
same format as the TCP protocol described above. In the current
implementation, requests must be contained in a single UDP datagram, but
responses may span several datagrams. (The only common requests that would
span multiple datagrams are huge multi-key "get" requests and "set"
requests, both of which are more suitable to TCP transport for reliability
reasons anyway.)
The frame header is 8 bytes long, as follows (all values are 16-bit integers
in network byte order, high byte first):
0-1 Request ID
2-3 Sequence number
4-5 Total number of datagrams in this message
6-7 Reserved for future use; must be 0
My question is, How do I send the stats command via udp to Memcached using netcat?
