This issue was converted from https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/REPORTS-27. Summary: URL decoding is incorrect Issue type: Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product. Priority: Major Status: Resolved Assignee: River Tarnell <river.tarnell@wikimedia.de> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: River Tarnell <river.tarnell@wikimedia.de> Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:51:23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The query string decoder in RequestContext neglects to decode %nn escapes in URLs, meaning non-ASCII variables get incorrect values.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: River Tarnell <river.tarnell@wikimedia.de> Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:55:09 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolved in r43 by using urllib.unquote to decode the URL. This yields Latin-1 rather than a Unicode string, but since we don't actually do anything with the value other than passing it to MySQL (which also thinks it's Latin-1), it works okay.
