Add the utf8_sanitizer.rb to your Rails 3.2 project in app/middleware. Instead of removing the invalid request characters and continuing the request (as some gems do) it returns a 400 error.

Add the following line to your config/application.rb:

config.middleware.use 'Utf8Sanitizer'

If you only need it in production add to config/environments/production.rb. This can be without quotes:

config.middleware.use Utf8Sanitizer

There are many (old) clients available:

• https://github.com/tpitale/legato (active, supports API v3)
• https://github.com/activenetwork/gattica
• https://github.com/vigetlabs/garb

The Google Analytics API is at v3 (at time of writing).

This example uses Google's Ruby API client to access Analytics. Use https://github.com/google/google-api-ruby-client (Google supported).

# Steps we will take:
# 1. Change boot2docker image type (this will take long)
# 2. Resize image
# 3. Resize partion (using GParted)

# Also see: https://docs.docker.com/articles/b2d_volume_resize/

# Stop boot2docker
