title: set charset in rails application
body: <p>I'm trying to setup my charset in a html view in a RoR application.
  I configured already the charset by meta equiv tag:<br>
  **meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" **</p>
  
  <p>It didn't work, so i tried to change my .htaccess (its a RoR application running under apache) but here is my problem. Normally i could use the following statement:
  <strong>AddType 'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1' html</strong></p>
  
  <p>But the problem is that, as everybody knows, RoR has no "file extension" and that breaks this .htaccess solution. Anybody knows another way to set a charset in a layout template or view ?</p>
