Hey all.

I am trying to migrate my rails app to ruby 1.9.1 and am getting the following error.

invalid multibyte escape: /\A(?:[\x9\xa\xd\x20-\x7F]|(?:[\x8E\xA1-\xFE][\xA1-\xFE])|(?:\x8F[\xA1-\xFE][\xA1-\xFE]))*\z/

The full stacktrace is at the bottom. This is working fine in ruby 1.8.7

What can I do get past this problem?

Thanks.

Tim -

I don't know for sure, but it may have something to do with the fact
that 1.9 introduced changes in character encodings (google "ruby 1.9
character encoding" for some hits).

If you don't get an answer here, I'd suggest asking on a general Ruby
discussion group -- it sounds like something they could answer.

Good luck.

Hi all,

I'm getting back to soap4r very slowly. Now I'm working on new release
or httpclient (*1). Soap4r/1.5.9 should come next (*2).

Character encoding support of 1.9 is incompatible with one of soap4r.
Soap4r uses UTF-8 as a pivot for converting CES by itself so it needs
rather big rewriting of soap4r. I'll give it a try after soap4r/1.5.9.

(*1) http://dev.ctor.org/http-access2/milestone/2.1.5
(*2) http://dev.ctor.org/soap4r/milestone/1.5.9

Regards,
// NaHi

Ok thanks.

I wonder if you could leverage the work of other people such as libxml-ruby, nokogiri or whatever rails is using. I think as of rails 2.3 their XML processing has switchable back ends.

Just a suggestion.
