Description Chris Goldthorpe

2011-04-22 15:55:41 EDT

When the help system link to search eclipse.org is clicked with a query string which is a character that requires encoding in a URI the search fails because during a redirect the URI is encoded a second time:

If the search string is "À" this href is opened

http://www.eclipse.org/search/search.cgi?q=%C3%80&ul=&ps=20&m=all

which is redirected to this page

http://www.eclipse.org/projects/searchpage.php?q=%25C3%2580&ul=&ps=20&m=all

The URI is getting encoded a second time causing the failure to find a search
result, the redirect should be going to 

http://www.eclipse.org/projects/searchpage.php?q=%C3%80&ul=&ps=20&m=all

I've updated the mechanism so the re-write will leave the query string alone.  It seems to work for the example URL you gave.

Can you confirm it's working as you expect?

I verified that the fix is working in Eclipse help, with DBCS characters. Thank you.
