Hello,
sometimes I get encoding errors when inserting a s a encoded URL in a
text field.
The database uses UTF8, with both collation and c-type defined as
en_US.UTF-8, and the URL field itself is defined as VARCHAR(1024). In
the case that the URL is longer than 1024 the software truncates it.
The inserted URL is extracted from the log file of the Squid Proxy,
which is encoded in UTF8.
The URL is encoded with RFC 1738 encoding of all non-ASCII characters in
the path & query sections. puny-coding of characters in the host
authority section.
RFC 1738 -> http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
Example of URLs that raise error:
