Umlauts in ZnUrl
by Udo Schneider Dec. 4, 2014

All, What's the expected behavior with non-ASCII characters in URLs. Let's say I want to access a file named "Ã¤Ã¶Ã¼.txt" - My assumption was that Zinc takes care of the UTF-8 -> 7bit (ASCII) -> Escape encoding. But there is either something I don't understand or some manual steps I'm missing. The "straightforward" way doesn't work: 'http://myhost/path/with/umlaut/Ã¤Ã¶Ã¼.txt' asUrl. "ZnCharacterEncodingError: ASCII character expected" Although the actual encoding seems to be able to handle it (ignoring the escapes slashes for the moment: 'http://myhost/path/with/umlaut/Ã¤Ã¶Ã¼.txt' urlEncoded. "'http%3A%2F%2Fmyhost%2Fpath%2Fwith%2Fumlaut%2F%C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC.txt'" Creating a URL from already escaped characters works as well: 'http://myhost/path/with/umlaut/%C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC.txt' asUrl. "http://myhost/path/with/umlaut/%C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC.txt" As does the decoding of such an URL: 'http://myhost/path/with/umlaut/%C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC.txt' urlDecoded. "'http://myhost/path/with/umlaut/Ã¤Ã¶Ã¼.txt'" At them moment I'm manually encoding UTF-8 characters in paths segments before trying to build the URL. But is this the correct way? Best Regards, Udo

HelpSystem / HelpBrowser features

Hi all, I am currently using the HelpSystem to provide help for my application. I think the PluggableTextMorph used in the HelpBrowser (currently) does not support attaching screenshots or videos. I haven't see how to include a table neither. Does anyone has experimented in such direction? Any recommendations or hints? HernÃ¡n
