From: Takaaki Tateishi Date: 2005-08-04T01:36:04+09:00 Subject: ruby-dev summary 26468-26661 Here are recent ruby-dev summaries. Regards, ruby-dev:26468-26661 [ruby-dev:26468] security error of open-uri when accessing a redirect URL. Kazuhiko suggested that a security error should not be caused if we access a remote site specified by an untainted URL string using open-uri in case of $SAFE=1 and the remote server returns redirect URL. This post set off a discussion about the definition of the taint feature and the security mechanism, since the definition seems to use undefined ambiguous terms and we don't explicitly explain when and how we untaint a tainted object. [ruby-dev:26616] public method Seki asked about features like 'public', 'private' and 'protected', since He tried to change his codes in dRuby to check restriction of method calls. In this issue, he proposed a new method like 'send', which can't call private methods. Matz will accept his idea if its appropriate name is decided. [ruby-dev:26623] Ruby2.0BlockParameterNotation Sasada asked about new notation of block parameter. This issue is summarized at the following sites. Now ruby(HEAD) accepts the notation '->(...){...}'. http://pub.cozmixng.org/~the-rwiki/rw-cgi.rb?cmd=view;name=Ruby2.0BlockParameterNotation http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/blockAndLambda.html -- Takaaki Tateishi
