bug with navigation to address

[GoogleCodeExporter]

if  i navigate 
webkitbrowser1.navigate("http://www.one.co.il/League/Current/1,1,0,0/ליגת_ו
וינר"
since it has hebrew letters in the end it will not navigate if i navigate to 
the same address from a link click inside the  http://www.one.co.il/
it will navigate

What's the encoding that should be used to read these characters? Maybe if we 
change the string's encoding it will work.

Maybe try using that encoding to convert the string to UTF-8 or Unicode and 
then try navigating to the new string.

as i said if i remove "http://" from the start of the string it will navigate
the weird part is why its ok without http:// , i have tested the address with 
Skybound.Gecko 1.9 no issue there and in other browsers

Same problem here - I do store files locally as a cache and have a user who's 
name is Seán and so I am not able to access the files :(

It must be a problem with the encoding of the string. I can't find a solution 
though. Does anybody know if there is a char (like L in C++) for C# that would 
change the encoding of the string? L doesn't work in C#.

I solved this bug by auto removing http:// from the string before navigating 
you can
do the same with Replace("http://", "") it doesnt effect anything if i remove 
http

That happens because I already add "http://" to the string at the Navigate 
method but if this littel "hack" solves the problem then it is ok!

The URL you have given is not a valid URL address at first place. You should 
encode your non-ascii chars in your URL string.
If you are using VB.NET or C# then you can do it like this: (Add a reference to 
System.Web in your project first in order to use HttpUtility namespace)

Dim URL As String = 
"http://www.one.co.il/League/Current/1,1,0,0/ליגת_ווינר"
WebkitBrowser1.Navigate(System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(URL))
