...d for input (db, Rack, ERB, Haml, ...) in a given environment. With a optimal setup (db encoding, Ruby encoding, Rack encoding settings, I18n translations, ...), no transcoding will occur during the rendering process, no matter what the default Rails encoding is used (including ASCII_8BIT), and no force_encoding would be needed internally in Rails, except as workarounds for gems and libraries where this is difficult otherwise. The guideline for gem and plugin developers would be: do not create or return strings (other than internal use) that are not compatible with the default encoding both ways. In s...

Hi, Windows Vista Home Premium ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i386-mswin32_90] I noticed there was an ordinal bug in win32-security and Ruby 1.9.x. I fixed those easily enough, but now we''re left with this: 1) Error: test_string_to_sid(TC_Win32_Security_Sid): ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

...hat''s a good solution for fixing character encoding problems for compatibility between ascii and utf-8? The database is postgres and is encoded in utf-8. Once in awhile there will be a compatibility error from strings from a webform. Is there a command to fix this besides using a_string.force_encoding(''utf-8'')? Even this doesn''t seem to always work either. Thanks, Erica -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I am using CSV in a rake task (db:seed) on Rails 3.0.3, Ruby 1.9.2 to read a file with some funny chars in it. Upon breaking in at a point where the row read using CSV is in variable row, with the string with the char in row[''price''] I get the following strange results which I cannot understand. (rdb:1) row[''price''] "\xA32.00" (rdb:1)

...ut that doesn''t appear to affect templates at all. The problem, so far as I can see, is in one of two places: I either need to tell Rack to make all my string parameters encoded in UTF-8 or I need to set my template default encoding to UTF-8. A quick fix is: params[:form].each { |k, v| v.force_encoding ''UTF-8'' if v.is_a? String } I know this is not ideal, but I don''t understand how the view works well enough to do this better. What should I do to fix this problem? (Oh, and I''m using ERB, as an FYI.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed...

...aracters that are not utf-8 compliant that probably riddle my sql server database because users like to cut and paste content from word and other places. it turns out that because the content that i bring in via ruby net::http has non-utf8 characters, the encoding is set to ascii8bit and when i do force_encoding(utf-8), valid_encoding is false and the page just fails. html::sanitize isn''t an option as i don''t want to strip the tags. the content is from internal trusted servers that i control. i just need to sanizite, i guess, the bad characters. my thoughts/questions: 1) seems like ra...
