If you used 'http' addresses in your tests then the question is how the browser sends the address to the server and then it is up to the server how to interpret it, and the server may do one thing or another. The server should obviously accept the NFC variant, but if it does not, then that is their business. For 'file' addresses it's up to browser and OS how they resolve them. > - why does Wikipedia work, then?

MediaWiki uses a Unicode Normalizer when available and does some things on its own to map some kinds of user input, it's likely that Wikipedia does normalize page names. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
