Thanks for the advice but I have tried the wire format also, I have
encoded the string in the length and then the string pair and sent it
using the res_send but still it gives me the same format error.....
its like this.
Mark is encoded as 0x04Mark\0
I hope this is correct.
Could you please let me know how I can solve this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Nitin Khurana.

The answer depends upon the age of your resolver library.
I suspect that you have a old resolver library so you will
need to use "wire format".
wire format:
<length octet> <string> [<length octet> <string> ...]
