Output_compression with Rails 2.3.4

Hi Neetal,

I see you facing a lot of problems with Rails 2.3.4 migration. It’s a very new release and probably you should wait for some more time to plugin authors to migrate.

I was browsing output_compression plugin code (http://craz8.com/svn/trunk/plugins/output_compression/lib/output_compression.rb) and it defines is_component_request? in AbstractRequest class. As far as I know, AbstractRequest was renamed to Request in Rails 2.3. Although, it is not a good idea to monkey patch the plugin, but if it’s very urgent you can try renaming AbstractRequest to Request and see whether it solves (or create new) problem.

Thanks, Abhinav

Neetal, I have no idea. You should probably contact plugin author for help.

On a different note, I was reading about problem with Ruby’s monkeypatching and I appreciate Avdi’s view now: http://avdi.org/devblog/2008/02/23/why-monkeypatching-is-destroying-ruby/

Thanks, Abhinav
