Option to send Ip addresses fields as String instead of Base64

[Slepwin]

Can you add some option to send fields with IP addresses as String instead of Base64.

I also had trouble with this. I think the best option is to just convert the Ip fields yourself.

quick example

var b  flowmessage.FlowMessage = {}
var ip net.IP = b
ipStr := ip.String()

Just realized I missed this issue.
The base format is protobuf. It is meant to be decoded programmatically and avoid conversion (performance impact). Changing the field from bytes to string would be a breaking change.
I would invite you to check the JSON/text format which converts fields into their proper representation.
Have a look at https://github.com/netsampler/goflow2 which has more control over outputs.
