In Sophie the URI subsystem was *fixed* to ensure the
path data was UTF-8 and HTTP correct.
However what we found (a couple of years back) was that different browsers had different
opinions about
what to do for every UTF-8 character. At the time we decided the differences were bugs,
hopefully they have
been fixed now since I recall you can? now have domains with UTF-8 characters.
For domains that's easy because there's only one standard. It has
nothing to do with UTF-8 but uses punycode. For the path and the query
there are 3 standards one says ASCII, one says Latin-1 and one says
UTF-8. There is no way of knowing before making a request whether the
server accepts Latin-1 or UTF-8.
