hello all, I am trying to convert a string (s="-----boundary with some http stuff") to an arry to pass it to http::post as data. I need every character in as an extra element (like aX = ["-","-","b","o"....] I played with unpack(which looks like a good way) but no success. My last try was this loop but the characters are safed as figures and not as characters any more. s.each_byte do |x| aX << x end Thanks a lot! best Christian
