net/http in macruby 0.3 (ruby 1.9) has fatal bug

[eugene@…]

This is a ruby 1.9 issue. But the version of the net/http library deployed with macruby 0.3 has a bug in the urlencode function.

Writing simple code like the following throws an exception:

require 'net/http' require 'uri'

res = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(' http://tweetburner.com/links'),

{'link[url]'=> ARGV[0]})

See the following URL for the fix (and a patch file):

It's probably fixed in the latest net/http build.

Please test against trunk instead of 0.3.

Rich just merged the stdlib from 1.9.1 and this bug is now addressed. Change is r829.
