HTTP.get not always returning response body

[arjunrajkumar]

Saw the examples - and HTTP.get("https://github.com").to_s returns the pages HTML.

But trying with a few other websites and its only returning a string.

e.g. HTTP.get("https://www.irepair.in/").to_s or HTTP.get("https://www.wiinnova.com/").to_s returns empty string.

Just wondering if i'm missing something - or this works on some websites.

Any advice on how to fix this? Thanks.

It's known issue which is fixed in master and I will release new major version as soon as possible. It's related to improper handling of Upgrade response headers.

Related issues:

• readpartial sometimes returns empty string #485
• Upgrade header which advertises protocol support being treated as an actual upgrading #422

I'm gonna cut 5.0.0-alpha1 gem this weekend with changes in master.
