  • Thread-topic: URL encoding used by Safari for non-ascii chars ??

Thanks Alexey,
	Is there a way I can distinguish between UTF-8 stream and the decomposed UTF-8 stream.
	As Safari is sending both kinds of streams to my server.

Regards
Sanjay

   The second encoding is also UTF-8, but for a different (decomposed) form of
Unicode. In UTF-16, the same would be U+0061 U+0308. U+0061 is 'a', and U+0308 (776 in dec.)
is a combining umlaut, ̈. You may want to spend some time with a freeware
utility UnicodeChecker (http://earthlingsoft.net) - IMO it's the best way to
get acquainted with the basics of Unicode.

   A good HTTP/WebDAV server should accept any form of Unicode, of course.
