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".

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

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

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request

Forked from singlebrook's utf8-cleaner.
