Not to push too hard on his, but the ascii protocol is simple and easy to implement using sockets in any language: http://code.sixapart.com/svn/memcached/trunk/server/doc/protocol.txt I'd go as far as to say if you're focused on HTTP REST, it's a more simple client implementation to just use the ascii protocol. If you do go down the route of implementing HTTP REST, you'll want to look at stuff like libevent's HTTP server as well as something like libmicrohttpd. Regards, Gavin
