auto_link shows plain text HTML in view - Rails 3.0

I use auto_link in order to generate the clickable url:

<div> 
  <%= auto_link("Go to http://www.rubyonrails.org") %>
</div>

In the view page, it is supposed to show

Go to http://www.rubyonrails.org

However, it actually shows the HTML code in plain text:

Go to <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org">http://www.rubyonrails.org</a>

Any suggestion on how to fix this?

Rails version is 3.0.17

By default auto_link returns sanitized html_safe strings. This behaviour can be overriden setting the :sanitize option to false

  <%= auto_link("Go to http://www.rubyonrails.org", sanitize: false) %>

It's working as intended, see https://github.com/tenderlove/rails_autolink (which replaces the function that was removed in Rails 3.1)
