...) is supposed to be able to take a second parameter listing unsafe characters in the URI. This may be a regexp or string. If a string, it''s supposed to represent a character set listing all unsafe characters. An example given in the core documentation at: http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/uri/rdoc/classes/URI/Escape.html#M008992 ...is: p URI.escape("@?@!", "!?") # => "@%3F@%21" Unfortunately this doesn''t work. It seems that the string does not represent a character set to match any more, but a literal string to find - thus the follo...

I''m looking at the documentation: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/Net/HTTP.html And I notice two uses of Net::HTTP. Both are using GET requests. But what''s the difference? When to use which? Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port) do |http| request = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri response = http.request request # Net::HTTPResponse object end...

When I use pp on an object in rails, it prints out a nice string representation of the object. I am trying to pass objects from one server to another and I am wondering if I can just pass this string and create an object on the other server. Any libraries/functions out there that can do this? Or any other way to do this (not necessarily using pp). Thanks! -- Posted via

What''s a good solution for fixing character encoding problems for compatibility between ascii and utf-8? The database is postgres and is encoded in utf-8. Once in awhile there will be a compatibility error from strings from a webform. Is there a command to fix this besides using a_string.force_encoding(''utf-8'')? Even this doesn''t seem to always work either.

During one of my controller actions I want to call an external machine before I do anything. It''s not a real web service, more like a REST-style thing where I''ll just be tweaking a servlet running on another machine and sending it some data. Does Rails give me anything to work with for doing that? I read the web service stuff but it''s overkill for what I need. I

Two questions from a PHP guy thinking of moving to Rails: 1. Does Rails have equivalents for PHP''s FTP functions (www.php.net/ftp)? 2.

I searched online for the above but I got somewhat conflicting info about image editing and

Hi, As a long time Java/J2EE exponent I wanted to give Rails a fair crack of the whip and after we evaluated it for several weeks I have to say I like it. The installation process for the base system/framework is straightforward on the two platforms we''ve tried (Windows and Mac OS X). However, the charting components available, relying on ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick seem less clear
