This sounds very similar to another bug where IIS users get infinite redirect loops in 1.26. Someone tried to 'fix' another bug by introducing a new normalizing redirect to MediaWiki in 1.26. But it's starting to look like enough attention was not paid to the "edge" cases of web servers an international text other than the narrow subset this change was tested with. Which IMHO is not the web server's fault, because this http->server->php area the normalization is treading in is NOT a standardized thing one should expect certain forms of normalization.

Heiya,<br /><b>thank you</b> again for your input. As it turns out the browsers (Fx, Ch, O, Wb, etc. are decoding %C3 to %c3 instead of just sending %C3. Some people reported that setting "AddDefaultCharset UTF-8" in Apache and "default_charset = "UTF-8" in PHP should do and did the trick but this particular environment is still resting. Any other ideas on how to mitigate this somehow? <i>Cheers</i><br />Karsten [0] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131414 Am 31.03.2016 um 23:56 schrieb kghbln: > Heiya Daniel, > > thank you for your insight and assessment of the situation.
