I need the encoding for utf-8, which is apparently the default. I recently turned on page caching for multiple static pages:
caches_page :about
Caching works fine, and I see the corresponding about.html and contact.html pages generated in my / public folder, except when the page is displayed, it is no longer in utf-8.
After I searched several times, I tried to look at the http headers with wget, before and after caching:
first time:
$wget --server-response http://localhost:3000/about
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK

as a result, the page is displayed in ISO-8859-1, and I get a bunch of garbled text. Does anyone know how I can prevent this unwanted result? Thank.
