08:12 AM Ruby Bug #20077: modern http client

I know，but this is the bad part，they are http verb，but some return response，some return body string.
all verb method should return response object, modify net/http will break compatibility.

HTTP.get return body as string,
other http method return response

06:37 PM Ruby Feature #20069: Buffer class in stdlib

main use case is deal binary data，a replacement of String.
eg grpc bytes type, crypto key and more.
maybe not same as io buffer, so Bytes or Binary is good for class name. pynix (Pynix wang)

10:51 AM Ruby Feature #20069 (Closed): Buffer class in stdlib

ruby use `String` to deal with bytes, this cause error on irb "invalid byte sequence in utf-8"
can we get a builtin class like Buffer or Bytes that represent as hex string pynix (Pynix wang)
