Comment (by Florian Apolloner): I am with Mariusz on this one. If your environment contains data that is **not** encodable to iso-8859-1 then you have an app-server that doesn't implement WSGI correctly. Not sure how this should be handled, 'ignore' could bu supplied as the second parameter to encode method, but that would change the value of the cookie silently, and I'm not sure if that would be a desired behavior. The value of the cookie is already changed silently, if you were to send "name=öäü".encode('iso-8859-1') as literal cookie value over the wire and execute the following view: {{{ from django.core.handlers.wsgi import get_bytes_from_wsgi print(get_bytes_from_wsgi(request.environ, "HTTP_COOKIE", "")) print(request.COOKIES["name"]) }}} you'd get: {{{ b'name=\xf6\xe4\xfc' ��� }}} As you can see the "bytes" in the raw environment are reproducable correctly, but django later on converts to a string using utf-8 with `replace`. Even if you had any other non-latin character the actual byte sequence would be correct. We'd need a full traceback and reproducer like Mariusz said. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31344#comment:2> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
