[ruby-core:83498] [Ruby trunk Feature#2567] Net::HTTP does not handle encoding correctly

Issue #2567 has been updated by chucke (Tiago Cardoso).


Bitten by this as well. I'd go the route proposed earlier:

1. By default, encode the body using the charset set in content-type header.
2. Provide an option to disable this, to keep old behaviour.

This way, people having to deal with "mis-behaving" servers have a way to "opt-in" on their legacy workaround, while everyone else gets the "least-surprise" resource.

=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
