Hi guys,

I saw the discussion the other day about how 1.3.8 was broken in respect
to form submissions.

Having just installed 1.3 (1.3.9) for the first time today, I am having
big trouble with form submission.

Basically, when Galeon posts form data, it appears to be HTML-encoding the
data before sending, rather than sending the raw data. This breaks things
big time, when using non-ASCII characters (e.g. Norwegian characters øåæ).

It works normally using Mozilla.


I have set up a test page here:

http://www.timj.co.uk/test.php

Try posting a high-bit ASCII character like 'ø' (oslash) then viewing the
source:

Galeon: &#248;
Mozilla: ø


Tim

P.S. Source to the test page is:

<html>
<title>Galeon test</title>
<body>
<?php
print "Output RAW: ".$_REQUEST['test']."<br />\n"; ?>
<body>
<form action="test.php" method="post">
	<input type="text" name="test" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
