There is a problem in window.open that causes unicoded args in GET to
be unproperly passed to the server. Look at the following example and
the corresponding lines in apache's access.log
<html><head><body>
<a
href="http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/options.pl?m_id=34&toclose=1&tarefa=29&sessao=12260&msg_subject=Re:Almoço&address_sel=7&mode=choose&single=1&tipo_sel=1">
Normal link </a><p>
<a href="javascript:window.location.href =
'http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/options.pl?m_id=34&toclose=1&tarefa=29&sessao=12260&msg_subject=Re:Almoço&address_sel=7&mode=choose&single=1&tipo_sel=1'">
Window.location.href </a><p>
<a
href="javascript:open('http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/options.pl?m_id=34&toclose=1&tarefa=29&sessao=12260&msg_subject=Re:Almoço&address_sel=7&mode=choose&single=1&tipo_sel=1');void(0);">
Window.open </a><p>
</body></html>

Browser, not engine. I'm not sure which component is responsible for this;
reassigning to DOM Level 0 for further triage; and cc'ing Boris -
Assignee: rogerl → jst
Component: JavaScript Engine → DOM Level 0
QA Contact: pschwartau → desale
Summary: improper url encoding in window.open → Improper URL encoding in window.open()

This is a duplicate of bug 174628 against DOM Level 0,
Using the window.open(<uri>,''), '&' character gets replaced by '%26' string
I will dupe against this later bug since it contains more development.
Reasssigning to DOM Level 0 for parity -
Assignee: darin → jst
Component: Networking → DOM Level 0
QA Contact: benc → desale
