I'm having a problem with output gleaned from searching ISO-8859-9 web pages.
I thought I had rectified this by opening the pages "r:ISO...", and by using .force_encoding and .encode! with the lines. This seems to work, as according to logger.info output, execution makes it all the way through the controller AND the view code...meaning I would have thought there is nothing left for me to do.
After the controller code has run I get: Rendering docsearch/search Then the view code runs and I get: Completed in 1179ms (View: 11, DB: 1) | 200 OK [http://localhost/docdir/search\]
THEN, Processing ApplicationController#search which seems strange, since Processing DocdirController#search already happened. I had not noticed this before; what is the difference between these two, and what is the significance of "Processing ApplicationController#search" AFTER the view is already complete?
Anyway, that's when I get ArgumentError (invalid byte sequence in UTF-8): <internal:prelude>:8:in `synchronize' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/webrick/httpserver.rb:111:in `service' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/webrick/httpserver.rb:70:in `run' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/webrick/server.rb:183:in `block in start_thread'
So I have tried setting both internal and external encodings: Encoding.default_external = @dir.encoding Encoding.default_internal = @dir.encoding In the hopes that this would mean everything -- parsing, IO, etc. will be done in ISO-8859-1, but obviously this is not the case. I presume I cannot set the encoding for the scripts that aren't mine, ie, the webrick scripts that are throwing this error.
What can I do? AFAICT, all my code has executed without error, every line dealt with is output via the logger, in the controller AND in the view, A-ok, and then this happens? Why can I not just set *everything* to one encoding for a duration? Is it webrick? I also tried using Encoding::Converter on everything read in, to no avail...Help!
