unfortunately (actually there basically isn't a *right* answer that is
guaranteed to work everywhere). But if you are using UTF-8 as your page
encoding you should be using it to encode URLs before percent escaping.
WAUrlEncoder in 2.9 does this but it looks like the one in 2.8 doesn't.<br>

There has been a bunch of discussion about encodings on the development
list in the past few weeks. Encodings + the web = a mess, really. :)<br>

<br>
today I had a problem with non-ascii characters in the URL. The reason
for this problem seemed to be that URLs are encoded in a different way
as they are decoded. Encoding is done with WAUrlEncoder and decoding is
done with URLEncoder (at least on VisualWorks). The URLEncoder uses
UTF8 to encode/decode URLs, but the WAUrlEncoder stores characters
bytewise with %. So if you encode 'ü' (252 as Integer) with
WAUrlEncoder you get '%FC', while the URLEncoder produces '%C3%BC'.<br>
<br>
If the URLEncoder is also used for encoding everything works fine and
even the browser shows the characters properly in the address bar. I'm
not sure if that's just a problem of the VW port, but still I don't
understand why the WAUrlEncoder doesn't encode with UTF8, even though
that's recommented in the rfc (at least that's what Wikipedia said ;-)
).<br>

Kind Regards<br>
