Package: elinks
Version: 0.10.4-7

Even when elinks is configured to use Setup -> Character set -> ISO
8859-1, it still does not send the non-breaking space (U+00A0)
character correctly in forms: for some reason, it sends ^A (0x01)
instead.

How to reproduce: go to <URL:
http://www.madore.org/~david/.test/trivialform.html >, make sure Setup
-> Character set is set to ISO 8859-1, enter a non-breaking space in
the form (typically by typing compose space space) and submit.
Observed behavior: links loads <URL: about:blank?q=%01 >.  Expected
behavior: <URL: about:blank?q=%a0 >.

[Trivia note: Mozilla/Firefox also bugs on this, but differently: it
replaces non-breaking space by ordinary space in forms: <URL:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218277 >.  Strange that
two totally independent browsers should have a bug on the same
innocent character!]
