Target version changed from 2.0.0 to next minor ---------------------------------------- Feature #2567: Net::HTTP does not handle encoding correctly https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/2567#change-36441 Author: slide_rule (Ryan Sims) Status: Assigned Priority: Low Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE) Category: lib Target version: next minor =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 -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
