XB created THRIFT-1726:
--------------------------
Summary: Ruby-1.9: "binary" fields are represented by string whose
encoding is "UTF-8"
Key: THRIFT-1726
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1726
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Ruby - Library
Affects Versions: 0.9
Environment: JRuby 1.6.8 using "--1.9" command line parameter.
Reporter: XB
When reading a thrift object using the Thrift::BinaryProtocol and this thrift
object has a field of type "binary", then accessing this field yields a string
whose encoding is "UTF-8".
The encoding should be "ASCII-8BIT" instead. It may be right to assume that
"string" fields have a character encoding (such as "UTF-8"), but "binary"
fields do not have a character encoding at all. For these cases, there is the
pseudo-encoding "ASCII-8BIT" where we deal just with an opaque sequence of
bytes.
