How do you encode Chinese characters in a url?

I have Chinese characters that are represented by TwoByteString. When I

put them in a URL and later attempt to decode the URL, the Chinese character string

does not get reconstructed. For example;

| url |

url := Net.HttpURL

host: 'host'

pathString: 'http://host/seg/中文?ok=8'.

url pathString

'/http://host/seg/%4E2D%6587?ok=8'

Re: How do you encode Chinese characters in a url?

Try to use URLEncoder to encode path tokens:

URLEncoder encode: '中文?ok=8' -> '%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%3Fok%3D8'

URLEncoder decode: '%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%3Fok%3D8' -> '中文?ok=8'

In reply to this post by Kogan, Tamara

Why is it that #host:pathString: does not use the URLEncoder to encode the path?

Re: How do you encode Chinese characters in a url?

There is high priority AR to fix the URL encoding/decoding issues. The AR will be considered for 7.11.

50261: "Move Wave encoding handling of URI-encode/decode to base URI"
