[ruby-core:61035] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9467] Net::HTTP does unzip zipped content

Issue #9467 has been updated by Mathieu L. Bouchard.


Got the same thing and also this error when the block ends :
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1032:in `initialize': can't convert Net::ReadAdapter into String (TypeError)
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1032:in `new'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1032:in `block in get'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1322:in `block (2 levels) in transport_request'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:2671:in `reading_body'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1321:in `block in transport_request'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1316:in `catch'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1316:in `transport_request'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1293:in `request'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1286:in `block in request'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:745:in `start'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1284:in `request'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1026:in `get'
	from t辿l辿phones_LEP.rb:11:in `block in <main>'

This is when ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [i686-linux].

It worked on ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [i686-linux]

----------------------------------------
According to the Compression section of the documentation of Net::HTTP, it should automatically uncompress compressed responses. However, when I tried with a number of JSON requests with different servers, I am not getting automatic decompression.

require 'net/http'
uri = URI("http://yourhost.com")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
res = http.get(uri.request_uri)
