Nathan Beyer commented on THRIFT-1727:
--------------------------------------
I think that may be part of the solution, but in looking at the other
libraries, I think we need to just enhance the protocol classes to support
'write_binary'/'read_binary' methods and implement usage of those methods.
> 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.
