Subject: [ruby-core:46871] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6799][Assigned] Digest::*.hexdigest returns an ASCII-8BIT String


Issue #6799 has been updated by duerst (Martin D��rst).

Status changed from Feedback to Assigned
Assignee set to Eregon (Benoit Daloze)

Given that the string has only ASCII characters, an encoding of US-ASCII indeed seems best. Benoit, unless somebody objects soon, I think you should go ahead with your patch.
