Here’s what I get from wget -S:

23,615 --.–K/s

10:52:10 ( 15.75 MB/s) - `registration’ saved [23615]

I’ve even set an after\_filter in application.rb to force the header  
type like so:

after\_filter :set\_charset

def set\_charset  
@headers[“Content-Type”] = “text/html; charset=utf-8”  
end

All of my other pages render just fine … but this is the only one I  
use a little RJS with. Is that related? And any idea on the ’  
#\<#\<Class: 0x2a96d0b978\>:0x2a96d0b928\>Content-Type: text/html;  
charset=utf-8’ line showing up? Looks like an object reference …  
possibly being forced in with my set\_charset method.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you!

I found this ticket on the subject, but don’t understand how the added  
‘output.write’ fixes the issue. Can anyone elaborate?

Thanks,
