Re: url encoding gets wrong with åöä?

Niklas,
as you can see on this page http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm "E4"
corresponds to "d" which is works since it is translated to
"avhdmtning". This means that the encoding is wrong in the request.
You could try an encode-uri function in your xslt style sheet.
Encoding problems are wicked, so it might be more difficult to solve.

Hmm i guess you are right, but the link does work since think the target

This doesn't work:

http://gulasidorna.eniro.se/query?what=yp&search_word=Avh%C3%A4mtning&selecte
d_header_code=R1001257

This does work:

http://gulasidorna.eniro.se/query?what=yp&search_word=Avh%E4mtning&selected_h
eader_code=R1001257

I changed my output encoding to ISO-8859-1 but that didn't change anything.

Thanks!
/Niklas

No, the encoding in the URL is correct. The correct procedure for escaping

non-ASCII characters in a URL is to first encode the character in UTF-8, then
represent each octet of the UTF-8 sequence in hexadecimal as %HH.

The important question is, does the link actually work? If it doesn't work,
