Subject: [ruby-core:45100] [ruby-trunk - Feature #2567] Net::HTTP does not handle encoding correctly


Issue #2567 has been updated by jrochkind (jonathan rochkind).


It actually occurs to me that I mis-read the passage quoted by naruse. 

That passage is _discouraging_ heuristical guessing of charset, despite the fact that content-type is often wrong. That's what's being discouraged, and what it's saying there should be an opt-out of.

Feature #2567: Net::HTTP does not handle encoding correctly
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/2567#change-26672

Author: slide_rule (Ryan Sims)
Status: Assigned
Priority: Low
Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE)
Category: lib
Target version: 2.0.0


=begin
 A string returned by an HTTP get does not have its encoding set appropriately with the charset field, nor does the content_type report the charset. Example code demonstrating incorrect behavior is below.
 
 #!/usr/bin/ruby -w
 # encoding: UTF-8
 
 require 'net/http'
 
 uri = URI.parse('http://www.hearya.com/feed/')
 result = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port) {|http|
     http.get(uri.request_uri)
 }
 
 p result['content-type']     # "text/xml; charset=UTF-8" <- correct
 p result.content_type        # "text/xml" <- incorrect; truncates the charset field
 puts result.body.encoding    # ASCII-8BIT <- incorrect encoding, should be UTF-8
=end
