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.
