The Issue

This api call to the Weather Underground service works as expected using MRI ruby-1.9.3-p429 but not when using MRI ruby-2.0.0-p195.

This gist shows the code and the response when using 1.9.3 and 2.0.0.

The code sample is taken directly from the Weather Underground's documentation

Update

After working with @zph and @injekt there have been some interesting findings. I am including wunderground-working-2_0.rb as an example of a working version of the Weather Underground API using Ruby MRI 2.0.0.

The interesting piece was when @injekt showed that the rest-client gem could call the api without error. He then found that the gem was manually rescuing the Zlib::DataError (https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client/blob/master/lib/restclient/request.rb#L258).

So, for now, if I want to use the Weather Underground API and MRI 2.0.0, I'll be doing it with the rest-client gem.

Additionally interesting reading can be found with this Ruby core commit, where a significant update was made to the Zlib libraries.

Looks like I hit this error while stepping through code in 2.0.0:

Maybe there's something malformed in the 'chunked' encoding that 1.9.3 is more tolerant of and 2.0.0 is stricter?

I'm a bit stumped and should probably wrap up w/ lunch ;).

If I get time later tonight, I'll give it another once over.

Good luck @geopet

I'm going to try using another ruby version manager to build out Ruby 2.0. I don't think that it is the problem, but it is probably good idea to rule it out.

The challenge with your findings, is that they point out another issue. Is this a problem with Ruby 2.0 being too strict or with the Weather Underground API response not being strict enough?

I think it's unlikely to be an RVM issue, but always worth exploring.

I dug a bit deeper using pry-rescue and then threw a binding.pry into the line of the exception.

Interesting... I tracked it down to where Net::HTTP.response throws the exception.

Below is the Pry session output

This is where exception gets thrown:

  class Inflater # :nodoc:

    ##
    # Creates a new Inflater wrapping +socket+

    def initialize socket
      @socket = socket
      # zlib with automatic gzip detection
      @inflate = Zlib::Inflate.new(32 + Zlib::MAX_WBITS)
    end

    ##
    # Finishes the inflate stream.

    def finish
      @inflate.finish # EXCEPTION THROWN HERE!
    end

    ##
    # Returns a Net::ReadAdapter that inflates each read chunk into +dest+.
    #
    # This allows a large response body to be inflated without storing the

    def inflate_adapter(dest)
      block = proc do |compressed_chunk|
        @inflate.inflate(compressed_chunk) do |chunk|

From net/http/response.rb in 2.0.0 MRI.

New Zlib options available in 2.0.0... wonder if they're the root of the issue.

See Zlib section about chunked responses:

@geopet

Any further answers on this? I'm curious to see how it pans out 😄

@zph Nothing so far. I wasn't able to prove that it was poor compiling that was causing the issue either. So I'm going to chat about this in the #ruby IRC channel as soon as I have a moment.

Interesting.

Wonder if @drbrain would have a better idea than we do about why rest-client succeeds with this request in MRI 2.0.0 when open-uri fails, possibly due to the ZLIB stuff.

Very interesting about @injekt finding that rest-client rescues the error and then succeeds as you note: https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client/blob/master/lib/restclient/request.rb#L258-L262.

@geopet,

Check it out: https://github.com/zph/mri_2_0_0_zlib_troubleshooting

I've promoted it to a full repo for easier management and briefly wrote up my process and progress.

Seems like a corrupted HTTP response, ie corrupted Gzip compression.

Perhaps more avenues of exploration will appear as we mull on it.

@zph
I trigger this issue when using omniauth do oauth through proxy, so I tried to monkey patch Net::HTTPResponse::Inflater https://gist.github.com/jasl/5939460
