Upon submission of the form...
<form action="test.xqy" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="x" value="one:two" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
...the url in the browser address bar becomes...
http://host.com:8008/test.xqy?x=one%3Atwo
That's correct, because %3A is the URL encoded value of a colon. The
browser is URL encoding the form value for you.
If I type http://host.com:8008/test.xqy?x=one:two directly into the
address bar, everything works as expected.
Technically you should be using %3A. The browser is forgiving you
your transgression and internally sending %3A to the server while
letting you see the colon. A less forgiving browser would error out
saying you had entered a malformed URL.
What part of MarkLogic is causing this transformation into URL code
(http://www.dualunit.ch/en/tools/cp1252-characters/), and can it be
avoided?
This all happens external to MarkLogic Server. MarkLogic is receiving
the URL from the browser with the %3A URL encoding in both cases.
It's decoding it to a colon for you when you call xdmp:get-request-
field().
(It's ugly. I'll admit I'm just being vain, though.)
Yes, it's ugly. But it's the way of the web. :) See RFC 1738 for
details.
