Duh! The address bar should contain the URL, which *is* the intended text. The escapes are there for a reason. If I pass some octets using percent escapes via the query string or request body, it's not text, not even intended. It's still a collection of octets. Translating them back (and forth when I press enter in the address bar) is a pretty ambigious operation and therefore pretty wrong. The defacto standard does not exist. There's a real one instead: RFC 2396. nd _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
