Description

The regular expressions in the router are evaluated without Unicode support. Additionally, even when they are, this does not work for URLs that have escaped UTF8 characters in them. This is because the UTF8 bytes are provided as-is to the regular expression matcher, instead of being decoded into Unicode.

Revision 233:12361fbb3095 (diff)
Added by Elmer de Looff almost 12 years ago

Updated request.Request to decode the path_info from UTF8 where available, and router regex matching is now done with Unicode support. This enables routers to work on the full Unicode range, and accented characters to be matched as letters. This resolves #819.

Added page for Non-word/Unicode/Mojibake catchall with some explanation. This refs #819.

The result of this lack of support is that none of the expected routes match, and that either a NoRouteError is raised when characters with ordinal > 127 are found, or that a catch-all route is picked where this is not appropriate.
