Re: [Twisted-web] What's the correct way to deal with render_GET and unicode?

If I return a unicode string from my Resource's render_GET, I get a 500 error that says "Request did not return a string". I guess that means I'm responsible for encoding the response, but do I then need to write a render_HEAD to set the charset for the message? Are there any examples of how to do this?

Not a render_HEAD. You do need to set the Content-Type header in the response, but you can do that with request.setHeader (or on a very new version of Twisted, request.responseHeaders.addRawHeader). For example, def render_GET(self, request): request.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8") return u"\N{SNOWMAN}".encode('utf-8') Jean-Paul
