Subject: Extra CR chars inserted into a downloaded file

Hello all,
Could anyone help shed light on some pesky (extra) Carrige Rreturns '\r's

I'm in a windows environment, and I'm seeing extra chars in a download
vs. direct file access.
normally I would not care but later I will be checking MD5's on both
sides and they will not match.


# Ruby file downloadFile.rb
require 'open-uri'

open("http://localhost/test/test.txt") {|f|
  f.each_line {|line| p line}
  p f.content_type
  p f.charset + '\n'

}

File.open("C:/www/test/test.txt", "r") {|f|
    f.each_line {|line| p line}
}

# EOF

 -->

>ruby downloadFile.rb
"abcdefg\r\n"
"abcdefg\r\n"
"abcdefg\r\n"
"text/plain"
"iso-8859-1"

"abcdefg\n"
"abcdefg\n"
"abcdefg\n"
>Exit code: 0

thanks,
