Do something like this in your controller

def configure_charsets
super
@response.headers[“Content-Type”] = “text/vnd.wap.wml;
charset=utf-8”
end

I have used the xml builder templates to make wap output. Start with two
lines like this.

xml.<<“<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>”
xml.declare! :DOCTYPE, :wml, :PUBLIC, “-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.3//EN”,
“http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml13.dtd”

Hi Biji,

I couldn’t try this, but this should help you anyways:
You have to serve the document with the correct content type header for
wml, which should be “text/vnd.wap.wml”, so in your controller you
should have a

@headers[“Content-Type”] = “text/vnd.wap.wml”

HTH,
Michael

Hi!

I think the best thing is to use an after_filter like this:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
after_filter :set_content_type

def set_content_type
    @headers["Content-Type"] ||= "text/vnd.wap.wml"
end

end

Either you enable the filter in your ApplicationController (to enable
the wap header for the complete application) or only in specific
controllers. You can put the method set_content_type in your
ApplicationController and just enable the filter in each controller with
after_filter :set_content_type.

Using an after_filter and ||= allows you to set the header in some
actions manually. Only if that header is not set the filter sets the wap
header.
