Hello, Does anyone know what "Send UTF-8 URLs" option in Internet Explorer 7 does? I tried posting a form that includes non-ASCII characters in a form variable's value at http://test/XXYY.cgi where XX and YY are Japanese characters. The form itself is written in EUC-JP encoding. I was expecting this option would affect how one of both of the URL path (XXYY.cgi) and the search-strings (?key=value) is turned into the hexadeciaml encoding. But my experiment result is that regardless of the option setting, IE 7 interprets the URL path as UTF-8 and the search-strings as EUC-JP (the form's encoding), and generrates the %hh%hh... hex escapes. (Note: There is a recnet IE bug that relates to UTF-8 option: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/935729 but what I see is different because I didn't use frames.) I am puzzled. -- KUROSAKA (Kuro) Teruhiko San Francisco, California, USA
