58980 - Can't jump to an URL which contains Japanese codes

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58819

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Koike Kazuhiko]

Can't jump to an URL which contains Japanese codes.

For example:
http://www.pp.iij4u.or.jp/~shom/test-euc.html#$B4A;z(B

This kind of URL may be illegal, but NC 4.x allows it.

Strictly this is illegal, but I believe this is widely used.  And as nhotta
note in bug 58819 even the W3C acknowledges that: 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.1)

  Note. Some older user agents trivially process URIs in HTML using the bytes
  of the character encoding in which the document was received. Some older
  HTML documents rely on this practice and break when transcoded. User
  agents that want to handle these older documents should, on receiving a
  URI containing characters outside the legal set, first use the conversion
  based on UTF-8. Only if the resulting URI does not resolve should they
  try constructing a URI based on the bytes of the character encoding in
  which the document was received.
