If Apache::Util doesn't do it, it's because the corresponding Apache API function doesn't, so it'll be too buried down to fix. I agree, it looks like a bug, but the fastest fix is probably to translate it yourself. As for other characters, I'm not sure. If Apache::Util doesn't work correctly, you probably want to try URI::Escape instead, and see if that works for you. While it's in Perl, it works, and the performance hit shouldn't be too big (there are worse things that URI-escaping to worry about). -- Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
