sinatra-default_charset

DESCRIPTION:

Sets a default charset in the MIME headers. Defaults to Encoding.default_external on ruby 1.9, and to $kcode on ruby 1.8, or falls back to utf-8 when neither are available.

Provides a setting called default_charset that allows overriding the auto-discovered default.

To remove the transmitted charset for a single request, simply pass +:charset

> nil+ as your parameter to the content_type helper.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • Applies a default charset field to the Content-Type header of all responses

  • Allows for removal of the default-applied field

  • Allows for per-request overrides of the value

SYNOPSIS:

require 'sinatra/default_charset'
register Sinatra::DefaultCharset
set :default_charset, 'utf-8'

get '/' do
  "I'm utf-8"
end

get '/shift_jis' do 
  content_type :html, :charset => 'shift_jis'
  "I'm shift_jis"
end

get '/none' do
  content_type :html, :charset => nil
  "I have no charset in my headers"
end
