Double quotes are not preserved confirmation

[Neeraj Singh]

I am working on this rails ticket https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/4576
.

Then I found this test case http://github.com/rack/rack/blob/master/test/spec_rack_utils.rb#L35
. As you can see if the data has double quotes then double quotes are
being removed.

However if the data has a new line character then double quotes are
preserved.

Questions:

1) I looked at the rack spec but could not find any mention of this
behavior that double quotes should be removed only if string does not
contain a new line character.

2) If the existing behavior is the correct behavior then could you
please add this test case which makes it explicitly clear that string
with new line character will have double quotes preserver. Here is my
commit.

http://github.com/neerajdotname/rack/commit/1454a2171032e2260dc7199f1077aad08fc4b59a

Needless to say that test is passing with that commit.


Thanks

Hi this issue has come up several times now.

* http://groups.google.com/group/rack-devel/browse_thread/thread/befbad49b6409b45
* http://groups.google.com/group/rack-devel/browse_thread/thread/f81f79e633b9e086

I think it is a bug. I found the commit that introduced this
behavior. Looks like it was intentional but perhaps just a bad
choice? http://github.com/bahuvrihi/rack/commit/fb4f2b5fe26a0e3821ac0f6361a3885bd88b42ca

A patch that removes quote parsing and fixes the specs is here:

@Simon Thanks for the update.

I should have looked into the archive before asking the question.
Sorry about that.

Well it is an issue confirmed by some and there is already a patch.
Looks like someone has to pull the trigger and apply the patch.

OK, so apparently this has been known for months, reported several
times, and a patch is available; would PLEASE someone put this in and
make a release?

[Filip Tepper]

+1 for the release, please!

In this vein, can this commit(dae12e08) be cherry-picked to the rack-1.1
branch and a rack-1.1.1 release be made? The primary reason is that rails
v2.3.8 has a "rack ~> 1.1.0" dependency. Since this commit is applied in
the rack 1.2 branch, it will not be installed on a rails 2.3.8 installation.

enjoy,
