306477 - Use unicode characters in URL for location bar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 150376

(Camino Graveyard :: Location Bar & Autocomplete, defect)

Description

[Ulrik Sverdrup]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050829 Camino/0.9a2+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050829 Camino/0.9a2+

URLs are encoded in hex to support utf-8 characters.

When displaying urls in the location bar, Camino should convert the url and
display the correct/intented characters.
Example, the article about Älg:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%84lg


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
The URL is displayed encoded in hex

Expected Results:  
The URL should be displayed in Unicode

Notes:
The URL is displayed with the correct characters in the Status bar, when a link
is hovered.
Safari has the expected behaviour

Is this a Core bug; I see it in DeerPark, too (and see bug 284402).  Or do all
of the products handle their location bar encoding separately?

This is a core bug.  If and when it's fixed in the right place in the core,
Camino will pick it up.  Note that Camino's already handles non-ASCII characters
when the core calls for their display: try http://www.xn--tv-xka.de .
