--------------------------
Summary: Ruby-1.9: data loss: "binary" fields are re-encoded
Key: THRIFT-1727
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1727
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 setting a binary field of a Thrift object with some binary data (e.g. a
string whose encoding is "ASCII-8BIT") and then serializing this object, the
binary data is re-encoded. That is, it is encoded as if it were not a sequence
of bytes but a sequence of characters, encoded using the ISO-8859-1 encoding.
This assumed ISO-8859-1 sequence of characters is then converted into UTF-8 (by
BinaryProtocol or CompactProtocol). This basically means that all bytes whose
values are between 0x80 (inclusive) and 0x100 (exclusive) are converted into
multi-byte sequences. This leads to data corruption.
