...I show the pathname inside the browser, or look at it in the database (phpmyadmin), the special characters seem to be correct. I already added the "encoding: utf8" line to my database.yml file, so this shouldnt be the problem. Here is the code to send the file inside my controller: def send_document path = Document.find(params[:id]).path puts path # for "ÄÖÜ.txt" gives "ÄÃ-ÃOE.txt" on console send_file(path) # gives: Cannot read file ÄÖÜ.txt in browser end Did anybody already have a similar problem or can give me some advice how to fix this? Thanks in adva...
