BTW, I think you are misinterpreting the RFC. It doesn't actually say
that QUERY_STRING is Latin-1 encoded, but instead, it says
"the details of the parsing, reserved characters and support for non
US-ASCII characters depends on the context"
Latin-1 is only given as a possible example. Apache passes the URL from
the HTTP request unescaped; browsers will likely CGI-escape it. So most
likely, it will be
QUERY_STRING = 'type=example&name=L%F6wis'
or
QUERY_STRING = 'type=example&name=L%C3%B6wis'
IMO, applications are much better off to consider QUERY_STRING as a
character string. |
