From: Marc-Andre Lafortune Date: 2009-09-24T11:24:31+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:25743] [Bug #925](Rejected) IO#read documentation versus usage in net/protocol.rb Issue #925 has been updated by Marc-Andre Lafortune. Category set to doc Status changed from Open to Rejected The documentation is correct. You must pass a string. Net::HTTP uses its own internal class of IO (Net::BufferedIO) which does accept anything with a #<< method. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/925 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
