{"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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
