Where precisely do you read such a SHOULD requirement? Section 2.5 elaborates that the local encoding (of the resource) is typically used, ignoring cases where URIs are constructed on the client system (such scenario is simply ignored in the RFC). The last paragraph in section 2.5 is the only place that seems to imply a SHOULD requirement (although it doesn't use the keyword); this paragraph only talks about new URI schemes. Unfortunately, for http, the encoding is of characters is unspecified (this is somewhat solved by the introduction of IRIs). ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3300> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
