[Ironpython-users] binary strings in 2.7.2 alpha?

[Daniel Fernandez]

Hi Jeff, Kind of. 

I ran into the first error that IronPython 2.7.2 didn't support idna encoding. I just added code to the StringOps.cs in the RawDecode and RawEncode to support idna. It was a small change just made calls using System.Globalization.IdnMappings class. The issue with this that the Silverlight build would fail. The Silverlight project refeences a mscorlib.dll that doesn't support this System.Globalization.IdnMappings class. I added a conditional complition so it wasn't used in the Silverlight build so I get it to build successfully.  The next issue was the binary strings. It was failing with the statement path.split(b"/") and received and error expected str got bytes. I had to remove this binary strings (only a few places) from the script to get it to work.  

I only done a few tests nothing major but the HTTP GETs seem to be working but I ran into an issue with the SSL certification for HTTPS GET call that I haven't figured out it yet. I haven't done any POSTs yet.
