Hi,
Is there a good technical explanation for why Zope doesn't allow non-ASCII characters in URLs?
I suspect it's only for hysterical raisins. The code in question is in OFS/ObjectManager.py, in the checkValidId() function. Non-ASCII characters trigger a match on the bad_id regular expression search. As I recall, if you look at the revision history, that code is very old. There might even be an existing bug filed about this; I don't remember. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
