Re: [Pharo-users] Working with urls that contain non latin characters

Hi,

I was ready to show a friend the Pharo web capabilities with the classical "myString asUrl retrieveContents", but the friend gave me a url that contains non Latin characters[1] and then I got an ZnInvalidUTF8 error.

[1] http://www.bidchance.com/freesearch.do?&filetype=&channel=¤tpage=1&sea...

How can I process web addresses in Pharo that contain non latin characters like the one in [1]?

Maybe you can make it into additional test case(s) in Zinc and upload them so authors (or anyone else willing to) can take on from that point and fix them. I also faintly remember Zinc having some problems when I worked with it and the need to devise workarounds around asUrl use.

Thanks,
