=================================================================================================================================== https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21027 Summary: Requests with utf-8 in the URL return a outdated page revision Product: MediaWiki Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Normal Component: General/Unknown AssignedTo: wiki ... @lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: wiki ... @michael.holzt.de Created an attachment (id=6637) --> ( https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=6637 ) pcap file showing the problem I have noticed that if i request the URL http://de.wikinews.org/wiki/Nobelpreis_f ür_Physik_für_„die_Meister_des_ Lichts Â" using the text mode browser links, i get a old (outdated) revision of the page. I have tracked this issue and found that it is caused by links sending the special characters in the URL unencoded, directly as 8bit utf-8, and not in %xy encoding. If i change the URL to use %xy encoding ( http://de.wikinews.org/wiki/Nobelpreis_f%C3%BCr_Physik_f%C3%BCr_%E2%80%9Edie_Meister_des_Lichts%E2%80%9C ). However as it seems, mediawiki actually can handle requests with utf-8 in the url, but for some strange reason it returns a old page revision when requesting that way. I will attach a pcap-trace which shows first a request using links and the a request using lynx (lynx does the %xy encoding). You will notice the different page revisions returned. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
