Package: apache
Version: 1.3.19-1
Severity: normal
The 404 page for "http://localhost/á"; is:
Not Found
The requested URL /á was not found on this server.
It should have shown the non-ASCII characters as % escapes, as mozilla does in
the URL bar and before sending:
http://localhost/%C3%A1
It might also use UTF8 to convert it back to the intended code (see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/1997Apr/0115.html
http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL-and-ident
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.1
for background), but since some people use local encodings like latin-1 this is
not as good as the escapes.
By the way, http://localhost/á; is an invalid URL (that's why mozilla converted
it to http://localhost/%C3%A1 before sending to the server), and /á is also
invalid as the local part for a URL (at least before UTF-8 is standardized as
the canonical encoding for URLs).

X-Spam-Level:
Note that 404 pages are informational for users. they're not standardised,
and they're not supposed to be machine readable.
Were it providing a hyperlinked URL also, then that should be escaped.
I'm closing this bug.
