From: Yui NARUSE Date: 2009-10-31T13:26:14+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:26442] [Bug #2313] Incomplete encoding conversion? Issue #2313 has been updated by Yui NARUSE. The data of String consist from byte string and an encoding. String#encode changes both, but String#force_encoding changes only its encoding. You know, "converting to ASCII-8BIT" doesn't change its byte string, so this is String#force_encoding's business. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2313 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
