Å in domain name

[abloodywar]

I'm using zen-cart on a site, which has Å in its domain name.
When I click on certain links on the site, the "Å" changes to "%e5".

How do I prevent this?

Do you literally mean the domain name? Or do you mean in the URL ...

Have you an URL we could perhaps peek at that is using this?

In the domain name.
http://www.busungarochsmåknytt.se

If you add one more product to the Category for: Haklappar

Does that stop breaking?

[abloodywar]

Still need support with this.

Why can't I delete a post?

Hi,

The problem only happens when a header redirect occurs.
It looks like php's header('Location: domain_name') does not fully support Internationalised domain names.

ie if you write a small test script like.

<?php
$domain = 'http://busungarochsmåknytt.se';
header('Location: ' . $domain);

You will see that it does not work, and fails in the same way your site fails.

However if you convert your site name to an IDN punycode format
see http://idnaconv.phlymail.de/index.php

and use the result http://xn--busungarochsmknytt-hub.se in the script,

<?php
$domain = 'http://xn--busungarochsmknytt-hub.se';
header('Location: ' . $domain);

it does work.

I don't have any details currently of the algorithm used to convert to punycode, so can't be much more help at the moment.
