I have tried several things in the last few hours - including branching, ripping out all the files, and adding the code back one bit at a time. I am really out of choices now - one interesting thing - this error seems to occur only on the rails app codepath. When I call the same function from a unit test, it works fine.
I did suspect that this was due to some gem being out of sync, as several articles suggested, so I have removed everything except uri, open-uri and nokogiri. It still does repro. Can someone please advise- at this point, any suggestion is useful.
