Official Ruby 1.8.7-i386-mswin32 binary.

Running Windows Vista SP1 64-bit.

When performing an HTTP post using net/http, and a body under 23,400 bytes, I get a response from the server. When over 23,500 bytes, I get the following error:

C:\Users\tim\Desktop\ruby\bin>ruby ../../cr.rb

The above error message is triggered with the following script:

require 'URI'
require 'net/http'

body_string = 'a' * 23500
url = 'http://google.com'

uri = URI.parse url
http = Net::HTTP.new uri.host, uri.port
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new uri.request_uri
req.body = body_string
response = http.start{|conn| conn.request req}
puts response.body

Sorry for late reply. I cannot reproduce the error with 'ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i386-mswin32]'
and 'ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [i386-mswin32]'.

I close this as 'Rejected' as 'Works for me' since the ticket is a little bit aged.
Feel free to reopen this. Thanks.

PS. As far as I know, there's no 'Official' bin for Windows port.
