Question

In rails, can I access response.body in a action before it returns?

Say I want to do some final string replacements before it returns, can I get access to response.b

Answer 1

Try after_filter in your controller.

You should be able to edit your response.body from there. For me, I needed to remove some ASCII characters in the xml hence I did this.

after_filter :sanitize_xml

def sanitize_xml
   #clean the response body by accessing response.body
