311748 - International characters in URI

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 284474

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tomas Pihl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

I'm trying så fetch a page which contains swedish characters (ä and ö). As these
are in the URI, Firefox translates them to a %-representation. However, this
translation is wrong if I compare to what Safari and Opera does. Or I should
perhaps say the translation is "not the same" which results in the page isn't shown.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL mentionen above
2. Klick on green banner where it says "Lövsättra 18hål"

The translation is done as follows:

Firefox:
http://www4.golf.se/huvudgk/index.asp?bana=L%C3%B6vs%C3%A4ttra&winwidth=1280

Safari and Opera:
http://www4.golf.se/huvudgk/index.asp?bana=L%F6vs%E4ttra&winwidth=1280

According to http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf "ö" = F6, "ä" = E4
which is what Safari and Opera is using. Firefox isn't.
