Does anyone know off the top of their head why the 'open_handle' method
might return a string?

require 'net/sftp'

Net::SFTP.start('remotehost1') do |sftp|
sftp.put_file(foo, foobar)
sftp.open_handle(foobar) do |handle|
puts handle.inspect # =3D> "\000\000\000\000"
puts handle.class # =3D> "String"
puts data.read # =3D> Raises error: method not defined
end
end

It's not that the connection is bad, because the 'put_file' method works
okay, and the file gets uploaded to the remote host just fine.

Looking in the documentation leads me to believe that the call is right.
Taking a cursory look through the source suggests that the return should be
some object that delegates the IO operation to the Net::SFTP::Operation
subclasses--if I'm reading it correctly :)
