Hi

I'm having problems posting data containing multibyte chars using net/http. I found an old bug in the ruby 1.9 bug tracker that was resolved by switching body.length to body.bytesize. The same thing needs to be done in the http_connection gem.

http_connection-1.3.0/lib/net_fix.rb line 94 contains:

  self.content_length = body.length
it should be changed to:

  self.content_length = body.bytesize
to work with multi byte chars.
