websocket closed on first command

[bbergstrom]

I get this error in the stdout:
msp-005053:~ bbergstrom$ nirvana websocket error: undefined method `encoding' for nil:NilClass

I am using ruby 1.9.3.

Same result with ruby 1.8.7.

Running with the debug flag I get a more descriptive error:

Exception `NoMethodError' at /Users/bbergstrom/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/em-websocket-0.3.8/lib/em-websocket/connection.rb:146 - undefined method `encoding' for nil:NilClass
Exception `NoMethodError' at /Users/bbergstrom/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/em-websocket-0.3.8/lib/em-websocket/connection.rb:87 - undefined method `encoding' for nil:NilClass
nirvana websocket error: undefined method `encoding' for nil:NilClass

I think this is being introduced from a definition in my .irbrc or .riplrc. I will try excluding them.

I haven't used nirvana in a while but I"m open to a pull if this is an issue for others.
