[zeromq-dev] How to send binary and text massage in one massage

[Wes Young]

seems like you could just [compress and/or] base64 encode the entire thing before it hits the zmq stack and de-combobulate it on the other end, then the multi-messaging should be easier(?). that way you're just handing a string to the zmq stack and leaving the heavy lifting to your application.
