Re: [Httpmail-devel] Ruby error:

[Dane G. A. <da...@av...>]

Dave,

Thanks a bunch for the help.  I'm getting another error now, but I'm 
thinking it may be related to my Ruby installation . . . I'm a total 
Ruby newbie (groans from the peanut gallery), but bought "Ruby in a 
Nutshell" last night and it looks quite useful.

When I run thm.rb with the updated dav.rb file (for Ruby 1.6.7 & 
xmlparser 0.6.5):

ruby thm.rb MyA...@ho... <MyHotmailPwd> <MyForwardingAddress>

I get:

./cookies.rb:80:in `extract_cookies': undefined method `key?' for nil 
(NameError)
         from ./cookies.rb:43:in `request'
         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/net/http.rb:668:in `request'
         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/net/http.rb:667:in `start'
         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/net/http.rb:667:in `request'

         from thm.rb:12

I had configured and installed Ruby 1.6.7 from the sources on the 
ruby-lang.org site.  When I got your email this AM, I went hunting for 
md5.bundle and realized that I've got 2 different versions of 
md5.bundle, and actually it looks like I've got 2 Ruby installations . 
. . one at

/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin6.0/digest/md5.bundle

and another at:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin6.2/digest/md5.bundle

Both dir trees have pretty much the same files under the ruby directory 
. . . When I built Ruby, I took all the default settings (aside from 
the fact I had to apply the ruby-1.6.7-osx10.2.patch to 'configure' and 
'error.c').  Would having two Ruby installs like this be causing a 
problem? (Do you know if 10.2 includes a Ruby distro?)

Sorry, I'm a little confused here . . . are you saying you were trying 
to get the Perl version working on 10.2, or the Ruby version?  As I 
mentioned before, I've got the Perl version working, more or less, on 
10.2 and can post the steps I took in configuring it, if it would be 
helpful.

Also, from what I can tell, the error I'm getting in cookies.rb isn't 
related to md5, is it? (or am I simply confused :)

Thanks for all the help,

-Dane
