Failing to send a file in iso-8859-1
by Lutz Gehlen 07 Oct '16

Hello everyone, I would like to send the CSV content of a scalar variable as a file to the browser by using send_file in Dancer1. My sample code looks like this: send_file( \$str, content_type => 'text/csv', filename => 'foo.csv', ); The problem is that external requirements force me to send the file in iso-8859-1 and it seems that I cannot manage to achieve that. My first attempt was to just encode the content (which I should do anyway, I guess): $str = Encode::encode('iso-8859-1', $str); send_file( \$str, content_type => 'text/csv', filename => 'foo.csv', ); However, it seems like the content gets somehow magically re-encoded to UTF-8. Moreover, the browser receives a content type header of Content-Type:text/csv; charset=utf-8 So I have tried the following variants: $str = Encode::encode('iso-8859-1', $str); send_file( \$str, content_type => 'text/csv', charset => 'iso-8859-1', filename => 'foo.csv', ); ---- $str = Encode::encode('iso-8859-1', $str); send_file( \$str, content_type => 'text/csv', encoding => 'iso-8859-1', filename => 'foo.csv', ); ---- $str = Encode::encode('iso-8859-1', $str); send_file( \$str, content_type => 'text/csv; charset=iso-8859-1', filename => 'foo.csv', ); The first two do not seem to change anything, the last one results in a content type header of Content-Type:text/csv; charset=iso-8859-1; charset=utf-8 In all cases, the content of the file is UTF-8 encoded. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue? Thanks a lot and best wishes, Lutz

Hi, I want to use log file to monitor what is happening on the website, but I found the log file is not recording any more. Does anyone know where is to set the log file to keep the log? If it keep going, do we need to clear it regularly otherwise it full up the space? Many thanks, Wendy -- The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is operated by Genome Research Limited, a charity registered in England with number 1021457 and a company registered in England with number 2742969, whose registered office is 215 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BE.
