hi list, i was very happy with the new features for database (utf8) character support. and also with the fixed :url encoding according to W3C's I18n.
but trying to implement those features in our applications i have a problem and i think it might be a bug. if i'm :url encoding an iso-8859-1 string "Demö" i get "Dem%c3%b6" which looks fine for me according to [1]. if i'm :url encoding an utf8 string "Demö" i get "Dem%c3%83%c2%b6". the reason seems to be that the utf8 character "ö" is utf8 converted one more time before being encoded to the %HH hex value. can anybody (maybe mast who implemented it) enlighten me, if this is a bug or correct? thanx in advance /michael [1] http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL-code.html -- Michael Stenitzer | WIENFLUSS information.design.solutions www.wienfluss.net | linke wienzeile 178 / 3 / 142 | wien AT fon ++43 650 wfluss 0 | fax ++43 1 4854200 31
