This was fixed in 2.8.0; "rabbitmqadmin get" was just broken before that 
I'm afraid. If you don't want to upgrade your server you can just grab 
the latest released rabbitmqadmin from:

http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-management/raw-file/rabbitmq_v2_8_2/bin/rabbitmqadmin

Since in general the HTTP API does not change much it should be compatible.

However, it's worth noting that auto and base64 are the only encodings 
supported by the HTTP API - we can't force a message body to be a string 
if it isn't.
