Fails when a URL contains non-ASCII characters #17

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

Try to perform a request containing a non-ASCII character: 
http://devserver/api/search.json?last_name=øst*

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see the search result returned from the API but all I get is this: 
"Connection to http://devserver/api/search.json?last_name=øst* failed."

What version of the product are you using?

1.3.1

Hm, I was under the impression that URLs couldn't contain non-ascii characters.

A quick google reveals:

rs

Now, I think one thing cocoa-rest-client could do would be to URL encode any 
non-ascii characters in the request. If you manually url-encode the request 
URL, are you able to retrieve it that way?

I was able to fetch the data if I manually url-encoded the parameters. It would 
be awesome if the client could encode them automatically.

You can register domains containing non-ascii characters (http://øl.no) but I 
guess thats a different issue 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name and not very 
important.

This will be fixed in the next release. URLs will automatically be encoded.
