Line breaks added in the body content

[jlecour]

Hi,

I was having issues with a SOAP client I'm writing, based on Savon, Nori, Nokogiri, HTTPi and restclient.

I've had xml parsing errors, because of line breaks in the middle of a couple of xml tags. I first reproduced the request in a bare curl invocation, to confirm that there is no line break in the response from the server.

I've tried to debug my way into restclient to find where the raw http response as processed, but I got lost and decided that 1 hour spent on this was a little too much.

I've swapped the http client from httpclient to curb and retried ; it worked.

The deepest I got is in HTTPClient#do_request() where the res variable at the end contains the XML string, with the line breaks.
I couldn't manage to go deeper and find where those line breaks com from.

Sadly, the SOAP request is not public.
The response is 38027 characters long. Line breaks are at position 16377, then 16381.

@jlecour - what version of Ruby are you using? #161 could possibly be related.

this, or a similar problem, occurs to me.

i am switching to ruby 2.0.0 builds and HTTPClient 2.3.3 seems to have problems with the Picasa endpoint that i am fetching data from.

i created a gist with the output of the call for the two ruby versions: https://gist.github.com/phoet/5645555

Fixed this issue by different refactoring eventually.
