283051 - url-encoded strings don't seem to be based on utf-8 encoding

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 261929

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Eric Covener]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When trying to access a URI that contains some non ascii,  such as
http://localhost/©.html (copyright symbol), firefox url-encodes as %A9 instead
of %C2%A9.  This seems to base the encoding on the unicode value u00A9 vs. the
utf-8 value C2A9


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to http://localhost/©.html
2. Note the url-encoded form of your URI


Actual Results:  
URL-encoded form doesn't appear correct, firefox encodes as:

http://localhost/%A9.html



Expected Results:  
Copyright symol should be encoded in utf-8 then percent-sign escaped

http://localhost/%C2%A9.html
