Subject: Re: Found a ruby bug in the URI class, what do I do?

Here's a workaround that fixes URI.parse.

I didn't feel like rewriting the entire split, so I escaped out the '_'
in the URL with a legal string.

This will work great as long as you don't find a domain that has "_"
*and* the string "UNDERLINEuriSplitISbrokenUNDERLINE" in it.  That seems
like a reasonable premise for a kludgy hack fix.  :)

See attached file if you have problems with cut-and-paste because of the 
line wrap:

require 'uri'

# Fix for broken URI.parse (doesn't allow '_' in subdomains)
module URI
  class << self
    alias origsplit split
    def split(uri)
      return origsplit(uri) unless 
uri.gsub!(/^([^:]+:\/\/[^\/]+)_/,'\1UNDERLINEuriSplitISbrokenUNDERLINE')
      fix = origsplit(uri)
      fix[2].gsub!(/UNDERLINEuriSplitISbrokenUNDERLINE/,'_')
      fix
    end
  end
end

puts URI.parse("http://whatever.domain.com")
puts URI.parse("http://whatever_again.domain.com")
