base64 error with ruby1.9

[deepj]

Update to newer version of Ruby 1.9.1

[benoitc]

yes this is definitly what I had to do though most of current distribution don't have ruby 1.9.1

You should use Array.pack and string.unpack "m"

i installed ruby 1.9.1 (easier way in time limited). But anyway I'm not sure couchrest should require 1.9.1 actually. very little linux distribution have it in stable.

I meant couchrest could use Array.pack("m*") instead of using Base64.encode64 to obviate that version dependency.
