TCPSocket & $SAFE=1

[Jesper Olsen]

In a mod_ruby script I am trying to lookup an ip address with
TCPSocket.gethostbyname

But it fails - even though the same script in batch mode succeeds.

I notice that $SAFE==1 - is this what is preventing the method to
execute?

Cheers
Jesper

You must untaint the String given to TCPSocket::gethostbyname : be
carefull when you do this

Yes, that did the trick. Thanks for the hint.
