Hi, When I edit the tags on:
http://del.icio.us/url/4720413157054e2059cf355a64300a3c (my username is aidan , right now I'm the only person to have posted that URI), any Latin-1 (excluding ASCII) in a tag means that tag is truncated from the last non-Latin-1 character onwards. This happens both with an Ajax edit and with a full-screen edit. In detail; currently my tags are: japanese language [Φ] [h] [ç] from-peter-t-daniels pasta.cantbedone.org (you can't see them on the URL page right now, it appears to be cached; try http://del.icio.us/tag/%5B%CE%A6%D5 if the cache hasn't expired by the time you read this). Φ is a Greek character, U+30A6, ç is a Latin-1 character, U+00E7. The rest of the characters are US-ASCII. Browser is Firefox 1.5.0.11, platform Windows XP. I edit those tags--I click on edit, then full-screen edit, and add hi-there as a tag, such that the displayed text is now: japanese language [Φ] [h] [ç] from-peter-t-daniels pasta.cantbedone.org hi-there I then click save, and it redirects away from that tag. But when I examine the URL details again, it no longer has a [ç] tag, but it has a new [ tag. It still has the [Φ] tag. The same happens when I edit other tags containing Latin 1, or when I create new entries with tags containing Latin 1. Using the Live HTTP Headers extension, I see that the POST request submitted was: POST /aidan/%5B%C3%A7%5D?779822 url=http%3A%2F%2Fpasta.cantbedone.org%2Fpages%2FPXXU7p.htm&oldurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpasta.cantbedone.org%2Fpages%2FPXXU7p.htm&description=%5B%CE%A6%5D%2C+%5Bh%5D+in+Japanese¬es=Cute%3B+Japanese+went+through+a+historical+development+similar+to+the+%2Ff%2F&tags=japanese+language+%5B%CE%A6%5D+%5Bh%5D+%5B%C3%A7%5D+from-peter-t-daniels+pasta.cantbedone.org+&jump=no&date=2007-03-10T14%3A31%3A10Z&key=1540afd502e4ce4af3cb2bac8df225d1 which, when URL-decoded and converted to UTF-8, gives this: POST /aidan?312757 url=http://pasta.cantbedone.org/pages/PXXU7p.htm&oldurl=http://pasta.cantbedone.org/pages/PXXU7p.htm&description=[Φ],+[h]+in+Japanese¬es=Cute;+Japanese+went+through+a+historical+development+similar+to+the+/f/&tags=japanese+language+[Φ]+[h]+[ç]+from-peter-t-daniels+pasta.cantbedone.org+&jump=no&date=2007-03-10T14:31:10Z&key=1540afd502e4ce4af3cb2bac8df225d Now, the tags CGI variable is correct there, so this seems to be a server-side problem. I can work around it by renaming the tag [ to [ç], or espa to español. I've made a UTF-8 encoded version of this email at http://www.parhasard.net/del.icio.us-latin-1-problem.txt , since Yahoo Groups appears to prefer to treat it as Latin 1. Best regards, and please tell me if I should report this somewhere else. Aidan
