Hi all, I have the following on a controller method: render :text => "A string message" I want that response body to be converted to US-ASCII. (BTW, Ruby seems to default to UTF-8) Any ideas? I know theres a ''response.charset'', but that seems to only change the response''s charset header. I need the actual body string to be changed to US-ASCII. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Well, I fixed this issue following Charset conversion rules from this blog post: http://blog.grayproductions.net/articles/encoding_conversion_with_iconv James (the blog author) actually has the most comprehensive treatment on Ruby Strings (both for 1.8 & 1.9). Hope this helps somebody someday! :) On Apr 8, 12:45 am, xabriel <xabri...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi all, > > I have the following on a controller method: > > render :text => "A string message" > > I want that response body to be converted to US-ASCII.
