Setting output cache looses HTTP-header content-type override

[eluser]alphabase[/eluser]
Hi,

I need to set my content-type through the output class, since my HTTP server does not do this automatically and GTmetrix requires this for speed optimalisation.

So I've added this just before loading my views:

Code:

$this->output->set_header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');

That seems reasonable, and actually also works fluently.

Now I also wish to use the output caching, so I've added also before loading my views:

Code:

$this->output->cache(3600);

But this seems to override my HTTP-header overrides, giving me the response header:

Content-Type:text/html

Instead of:

Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8

I've also tried adding the set_header to my controller's construct function, but this does not work.

Any idea how to fix this?

Headers are not retained in cached files generated by the Output class in CI 2.1.3 and below. It has been added in 3.0. You can see how I did it here: https://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter/pull/2151 Should be fairly easy to extend the Output class as a temporary solution for you.
