Request
Parameters:
None
Show session dump
Response
Headers:
{"Cache-Control"=>"no-cache",
"Content-Type"=>"text/html"}
**What should I do? I tried to search online, didn't find much.
The only thing I found was something like putting the following into
application_controller:
before_filter :set_charset, :set_locale
def set_charset
response.headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=utf-8"
WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_UTF8 end
but this still doesn't work.
I am new to ruby on rails, so don't know much about it.
Thanks for your help.
