UTF8Gatekeeper

Returns a 400 error when there are invalid UTF-8 characters in the environment so that your app doesn't choke on them. This prevents errors like "invalid byte sequence in UTF-8".

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

# Gemfile
gem 'utf8_gatekeeper'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install utf8_gatekeeper

If you're not running Rails, you'll have to add the middleware to your config.ru:

# config.ru
require 'utf8_gatekeeper'
use UTF8Gatekeeper::Middleware

Usage

There's nothing to "use". It just works!
