I am trying to connect an openvswitch to a nox controller, but I get a 
JSON related error. Below, I have included the openvswitch command, the 
error from ovs-vswitch as well as the error from the nox controller.


Here is the openvswitch command:

ovs-vswitchd  tcp:10.10.101.40:10023


I get the following error from ovs-vswitchd:

Nov 19 15:02:53|00007|reconnect|INFO|tcp:10.10.101.40:10023: connecting...
Nov 19 15:02:53|00008|reconnect|INFO|tcp:10.10.101.40:10023: connected
Nov 19 15:02:53|00009|jsonrpc|WARN|tcp:10.10.101.40:10023: error parsing 
stream: line 0, column 1, byte 1: invalid character U+0001

OpenFlow data on JSON-RPC channel

dropped (Protocol error)
Nov 19 15:02:53|00012|reconnect|INFO|tcp:10.10.101.40:10023: waiting 2 
seconds before reconnect


When i look at the nox controller i get this error:

00045|nox|WARN:Error sending features request: Protocol error
00046|openflow|DBG:Passive tcp interface received connection
00047|openflow|WARN:stream: unexpected connection drop in middle of a 
message
