------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-11-07 12:08 -------
I searched RFCs for using national characters in URLs like ä,ö,ü and if it's
allowed to encode them in an http url.

I found that there could be a problem in Apache2 regarding RFC specification -
but I did not found anything about national encoded characters "can" or "must
not" be used in http URLs.

RFC2396 [7] 2.1
Summary: Special Characters that are not represented in the octet for the
US-ASCII code require some way of identifying the charset used.

Part of the referenced RFC2277 [2] 3.1:
"All protocols MUST identify, for all character data, which charset is
in use."

Even if there is no problem regarding RFC specification, the error message is
misleading.
%E4.html - access denied -> wrong message
%E4.html - not found     -> could be the correct message if
                            national characters are not allowed.
"access denied" also occurs if ä.html does not exist.
Compared with Apache1: Apache1 is able to send %E4.html back to the browser.
