Ruby on Rails

Cant seem to find an answer to this on google:

If I have this value as the text within an attribute in my xml source: "a2/PP00nFwWa7I8Jog7bcw==\n"

When I ask Nokogiri to return it, why does it return this: "a2/PP00nFwWa7I8Jog7bcw== " (the last character I confirmed in the debugger as a space character). So it seems Nokogiri is converting the "\n" to a space.

Is there a way to tell Nokogiri to return verbatim? I am dealing with encrypted data and this modification which it is making to the xml source is significant?

I originally thought this might be a Ruby 1.9.2 issue but confirmed that this is the same in 1.8.7. The difference is that REXML was returning this string as expected and now am converting to Nokogiri.

Thanks,

David
