PROXY. Parsing protocol FAILS.

Sorry for my bad english!

Hi there, i trying to create my own proxy server on C++. (I dont love Java)
I create table of information to auto parsing packets. But it crashed (throwing OUT_OF_PROTOCOL exeption.)
I am manually look to packets. First server answer is:

Code:

0x02 0x00 0x01 0x2D

But by protocol http://wiki.vg/Protocol#Server_to_Client_2, server sould answer

Code:

0x02 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x2D

Because string sould be 16 bits, not 8. I am wrong?
