[Zope-dev] Non-ASCII characters in URLs

Hi, Is there a good technical explanation for why Zope doesn't allow non-ASCII characters in URLs? I'd like to be able to let URLs work like this example from Wikipedia: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/メインページ When I try adding an object with ID "メインページ" in Zope 2, I get the following error message: Error Type: BadRequest Error Value: The id "メインページ" contains characters illegal in URLs. Is there a fundamental reason (ie. Python objects can only be ASCII) or is it simply bugs that need to be fixed? Curiously yours, -- Alexander Limi · http://limi.net
