Agile Web Development

Browser filters is a collection of three common filtering needs:

• UnicodeContentType: Set the charset to text/html; charset=utf-8 unless something else has already been specified by the action.
• SafariUnicodeFix: Fix the unicode sent to the Safari browser under Ajax calls to prevent garbage.
• LinkPrefetchingBlock: Block all pre-fetching requests by the Google Web Accelerator and others using a 403 Forbidden.

You can get all these filters applied at once by simply including BrowserFilters:

  class ApplicationController < ActiveRecord::Base
    include BrowserFilters
  end

…but you can also cherry-pick:

  class ApplicationController < ActiveRecord::Base
    include SafariUnicodeFix, LinkPrefetchingBlock
  end
