<br><div>Hello folks,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm trying to use drakma to fetch urls that contain utf8 characters but HTTP-REQUEST automatically url encodes any non latin-1 ascii characters. </div><div><br></div><div>
On my cursory reading of the RFCs, this seems conforming behavor, but in this case it is definitely unwanted. </div><div><br></div><div>For example, the following url</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=ru&q=%D0%B2%D1%8B">http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=ru&q=вы</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>if entered directly into the browser correctly returns the text-to-speech audo file but </div><div><br></div><div>when attempting to use HTTP-REQUEST, the url is being url encoded into</div><div><br></div>
<div> <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=ru&q=%D0%B2%D1%8B">http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=ru&q=%D0%B2%D1%8B</a></div><div><br></div><div>of which google does not url-decode and fails to return the correct data.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, for this case, the url-encoding is unwanted. </div><div><br></div><div>I am willing to submit patch an additional argument into HTTP-REQUEST to disallow the encoding.</div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>William</div>
