Hi Dennis,
Opera, Safari, InternetExplorer (including 5.0,5.5,6.0,7.0), ...
All of them send by default an URL typed manually in the address bar as
UTF-8 percentage encoded as specified in the RFC 3986.
Right, but Firefox send it by default as ISO-8859-1 :(
I got no idea why Firefox is doing this ... and the "rest of the world"
not. Who got it right ?
Well according to this :
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2005-January/004244.htmlRFC 3986 is the standard since January 2005 !
So, ladies and gents, we got a problem with the current default Firefox
setup IMHO.
Ok, I though switching the intl.charset.default from iso-8859-1 to utf-8
would do the trick ... but it is not working at all :(
Guys, anybody can fix this and bring us a RFC 3986 compatible firefox ?
Best Rgs,
TM
