Hi there,
I have an issue with character encoding on http request that I need to
handle in my rails apps.
Here’s an example of my log :
Processing MessagesController#incoming (for 217.117.146.164 at
2010-04-02 16:08:27) [GET]
Parameters: {“action”=>“incoming”, “z”=>“Je suis un bon ?l?ve.”,
“alias”=>“33699425463”, “controller”=>“messages”}
… some db processing…
Rendering messages/incoming
Completed in 39ms (View: 2, DB: 27) | 200 OK
[http://server.mydomain.com/in/?z=Je+suis+un+bon+�l�ve.&alias=33699425463]
As you can guess I expect the system to receive the z value decoded as
“Je suis un bon élève.” and not “Je suis un bon ?l?ve.”
Anyone as faced this issue already ?
By the way, I cannot ask the request sender to change his encoding
method…
On the other hand, I’ve setup everything in my app to use utf-8 which
works fine…
Thanks in advance,
Christophe
