Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: HyperArch.py multibyte charset

Initial Comment: HyperArch.py in 2.1b5 use Utils.uquote() for CGIescape() and html_quote() but it does not take language argument. This is no good for multilbyte charset because characters are escaped in separate 8bit bytes which results in mojibake. We should rather use Utils.uncanonstr() to honor the legal characters within the multibyte charset. This patch fixes other minor bugs in the current code.

Tokio, do you have an answer for Martin's question? If this solves a real problem w/ Japanese, I'm happy to apply it, but it would be good to have a sample or test case that fails without it.

I think I have to generate new translation regarding the date format problem. Sorry.

Tokio, can you please explain the problem in more detail? Utils.uquote will always return 7bit strings only, potentially with nested HTML character references. Why could this cause a problem in a multi-byte encoding? Can you refer to a page that looks incorrectly because of that?

Here's a new version of the patch that applies cleanly to current cvs. I'm not sure I'm testing it well enough, so could you take a look?
