It was more than 7 years ago so I can't remember the details, but I think there were some other bugs to do with character sets that basically meant forcing everything to be utf-8. Strictly speaking the -charset switch to ns_urldecode might still be needed, and I think it got removed by mistake, but it's usually not needed: > So in Naviserver, is there an alternative to achieve the following: > > nscp 1> ns_urldecode -charset iso8859-1 "%FA" > รบ Here for example, if you don't pass -charset then naviserver assumes utf8. But the code points of iso88591 are a subset of utf8 (and ascii is a subset of both), so the result is identical. So you should never have to specify iso88591, because I think you can no longer set the notion of a global default character set -- it's always utf8, and then in some places you can specifically choose if really needed. Where are you getting %FA from? Is it something you're encoding yourself or are you interacting with another system? > PS.
