I'm running a site with a database containing international addresses. Predictably, I'm using UTF-8 across the board internally. I want to know what the proper encoding mechanism is for geocoding GET requests.
Currently, I am URL-encoding the UTF-8 string. This practice seems to work on my presently limited test dataset, but I haven't seen documentation indicating whether it is correct... For example, if I were searching for the address 你好, I would use the request: GET /maps/api/geocode/json?address=%E4%BD%A0%E5%A5%BD&sensor=false Also, I haven't controlled for any HTTP headers sent by my scripts - is there a header I should override to indicate the character encoding of the url-decoded parameter?
