Ruby 1.9.1. issue

[aaronchi]

I get this error in ruby 1.9.1 calling out to an authentication url. This works in ruby 1.8.7

TypeError in Oauth consumersController#show

can't dup Symbol

Looks like I'm having the same issue. I'm using OAuth with the twitter gem and get this error when I attempt to update. Were you able to find a workaround?

Same here using twitter gem. Workaround: add str=str.to_s before line 1532 of net/http.rb (but this is a dirty one, i know!)

More cleanly, you could add this at the beginning of your script, after including your gems:

if RUBY_VERSION =~ /^1\.9/
  module Net
    module HTTPHeader
      def urlencode(str)
        str = str.to_s
        str.dup.force_encoding('ASCII-8BIT').gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-]/){'%%%02x' % $&.ord}
      end
      private :urlencode
    end
  end
end
