v2.2.1 - Show latest stable - Class: ActionController::AbstractResponse

content_type=(mime_type)

public

Sets the HTTP response’s content MIME type. For example, in the controller you could write this:

 response.content_type = "text/plain"

If a character set has been defined for this response (see charset=) then the character set information will also be included in the content type information.

# File actionpack/lib/action_controller/response.rb, line 64
    def content_type=(mime_type)
      self.headers["Content-Type"] =
        if mime_type =~ /charset/ || (c = charset).nil?
          mime_type.to_s
        else
          "#{mime_type}; charset=#{c}"
        end
    end
