1304657 - window.open wrong charset

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[struke]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

In a html page with charset ISO-8859-1 (meta tag) I clicked on a window.open passing a parameter on the url.


Actual results:

when the previous parameter contents for exemple an accent the server receives strange parametrers. It only happens with window open.


Expected results:

The parameters should arrive to the server in the same way than in version .47 and previous. Other browsers work fine, so it is not a server issue.
