Invalid pointer key in names/owned_by

[davidyuk]

I've claimed a name testtesttesttest.chain on testnet and set a pointer with key 0 to ak_2swhLkgBPeeADxVTAVCJnZLY5NZtCFiM93JxsEaMuC59euuFRQ.

// 20240111191727
// https://testnet.aeternity.io/v3/names/testtesttesttest.chain
{
  "id": "nm_23VeJoefV7S7S2TGsDZ9mjUWVTiTHuEHUpujcDeoksCVdhqrxS",
  "owner": "ak_2swhLkgBPeeADxVTAVCJnZLY5NZtCFiM93JxsEaMuC59euuFRQ",
  "pointers": [
    {
      "id": "ak_2swhLkgBPeeADxVTAVCJnZLY5NZtCFiM93JxsEaMuC59euuFRQ",
      "key": "0"
    }
  ],
  "ttl": 1066558
}

When I'm requesting names owned by this account I'm getting in response

      "previous": [

    ...

For some reason, 0 became MA== in middleware response 🤷‍♀️

@davidyuk the keys in the pointers object are always base64-encoded, because they may be binaries

[davidyuk]

but these keys are not encoded in the node's implementation (see first response), can you make it consistent with it?

    {
        // ...

          "account_pubkey": "ak_2swhLkgBPeeADxVTAVCJnZLY5NZtCFiM93JxsEaMuC59euuFRQ"
        },
        // ...
    },
    {
        // ...
        "pointers": {
          "MA==": "ak_2swhLkgBPeeADxVTAVCJnZLY5NZtCFiM93JxsEaMuC59euuFRQ"
        },
        // ...
    },
  ],
  "top_bid": [
    
  ]
}

keys in the pointers object are always base64-encoded

what about account_pubkey then?

@davidyuk how does the node expose binary pointer keys

[davidyuk]

They adds ���� where necessary 🤷‍♀️ I've created aeternity/aeternity#4317. Let's wait till they resolve that issue. And after that, make sure the implementation is consistent.
