• Merged into: #237

Obviously, Ruby 1.8.x doesn't support the patch applied to cure issue 237.
Thanks for reporting that. Got to check whether there's ruby 1.8 for my Debian 
Wheezy...
(Can you confirm the problem disappears  with Ruby 1.9.y?)

I'm afraid we've got to drop Ruby 1.8 support in the not-so-far future... we 
might even address Unicode issues then!

For now, r1129 only sets http.ciphers when a Ruby version >=1.9 has been 
detected.

Merging this issue with 237...

Thanks for the quick fix. I can confirm that it's now working.

Ruby 1.8 seems to be the only one available for my up-to-date ubuntu 11.10 
installation:

dpkg -l ruby*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  ruby           4.8            Transitional package for ruby1.8
un  ruby-dev       <none>         (no description available)
un  ruby-interpret <none>         (no description available)
ii  ruby1.8        1.8.7.352-2ubu Interpreter of object-oriented scripting lan
un  ruby1.8-exampl <none>         (no description available)

I would suggest to wait until new ruby versions have made it into the standard 
repositories.

Cheers,

JCS.
