UTF-8 is what I meant. Being a little dyslexic today.
Not making myself clear. Trying again.
%3F is a special encoding specific to URL encoding and decoding. ascii nor UTF-8 should matter, it is a hexadecimal value and reserved, % escapes and the 3F is the value for aquestion mark.
What I am trying to figure out is:
does varbinary storage of the page title mean the title is passed differently than varchar in utf-8. Looking at the value in the table I see a ? not the %3F.
This host is a major pain in the you know .... They have such wacky configurationswith their servers. Maybe they have uri encoding/decoding off in eginx? No idea what the heck they are doing there.
If I request:
mywiki.org/wiki/What_is_the_tallest_building_in_the_world%3F_Hint_not_in_NY
The page displays
What is the tallest building in the world
The '? Hint and not in NY' are not in the page title at the top.
No ?, no trailing words...theRead|Edit|View History|/ tabs are all missing, just the Page and Discussion tabs exist.
If I create a page with
mywiki.org/wiki/What_is_the_tallest_building_in_the_world%3F_Hint_not_in_NY
Everything appears normal until I go to view it and back to: What is the tallest building in the world, no ? or trailing text.
Thanks Tom
