"Error : URIError: malformed URI sequence"

[Jesus Boadas]

js target is failing to unserialize a remote object with non ascii characters, with the error "Error : URIError: malformed URI sequence", there is a way to force utf8 decode ?

Thanks

[Jesus Boadas]

the urlencode in the serializer doesn't complain but the urldecode do with the following characters :
ñ Ñ ¬ ° á é í ó ú Á É Í Ó Ú ¡ Ü ¨ ü

What are you using to serialize/unserialize?

[Jesus Boadas]

I have a shared js,php object like that

class table1 #if php extends Object #end
{
    public var a : SString<36>;
    public var b : SString<30>;
    public var c :SString<30>;
    public var d :SString<2>;
   
    #if php
    public static var manager = new Manager<table1>(table1);
    #end   

    function hxSerialize( s : haxe.Serializer ) {
        s.serialize(a);
        s.serialize(b);
        s.serialize(c);
        s.serialize(d);
    }
    function hxUnserialize( s : haxe.Unserializer ) {
        a = s.unserialize();
        b = s.unserialize();
        c = s.unserialize();
        d = s.unserialize();
    }
}

also tested StringTools htmlEscape/htmlUnscape but still complain at runtime with malformed URI

I think the issue is not serialization but the way you have originally
stored your data. If your data is UTF8 then StringTools.urlEncode("é")
will give you "%C3%A9" (two bytes). If OTOH the String is ASCII you will
get "%E9" (single byte > 128).

Hope that helps,

Sorry I mess myself with google groups

mmm

Well my data is stored in mysql with 
the database
character set: utf8 -- UTF-8 Unicode
collation: utf8_general_ci

the table
character set: utf8 -- UTF-8 Unicode
collation: utf8_general_ci

the varchar columns:
character set: utf8
collation: utf8_general_ci

I create a new database/table from scratch
php is using utf-8
apache is using utf-8
the html is in utf-8

Im trying to get a field with this value

abcébca

In the response I get

abc%E9bcannnnnnnngh

then the decoder complains because is trying to decode utf-8 but the special character is encoded with ascii

Where is the encoder getting the information of the character set of the string ?

I think I could get ride of this, declaring the table as ascii but all these characters gonna be replaced with the "?" symbol

Thanks

Ok I got to the root of the problem, Is a little offtopic but will post here so any other user can solve this puzzle.

By default mysql doesn't have utf-8 enabled 

Im using navicat and the software tell me that everything is using utf-8 but is not.

as you can see with this queries, I have a soup of character sets and collations

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'collation%';

+----------------------+-------------------+

| Variable_name        | Value             |

+----------------------+-------------------+

| collation_connection | utf8_general_ci   |

| collation_database   | utf8_spanish_ci   |

| collation_server     | latin1_swedish_ci |

+----------------------+-------------------+

3 rows in set

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%';

+--------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

| Variable_name            | Value                                         |

+--------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

| character_set_client     | utf8                                          |

| character_set_connection | utf8                                          |

| character_set_database   | utf8                                          |

| character_set_filesystem | binary                                        |

| character_set_results    | utf8                                          |

| character_set_server     | latin1                                        |

| character_set_system     | utf8                                          |

| character_sets_dir       | c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.12\share\charsets\ |

+--------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

8 rows in set

Now you need to tell the server to use utf-8, edit my.cnf om linux like systems or my.ini on windows and add the following

[mysqld]

character-set-server=utf8

collation-server=utf8_general_ci

init-connect='SET NAMES utf8'

[client]

default-character-set=utf8

now restart mysql and verify

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'collation%';

+----------------------+-----------------+

| Variable_name        | Value           |

+----------------------+-----------------+

| collation_connection | utf8_general_ci |

| collation_database   | utf8_general_ci |

| collation_server     | utf8_general_ci |

+----------------------+-----------------+

3 rows in set

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%';

+--------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

| Variable_name            | Value                                         |

+--------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

| character_set_client     | utf8                                          |

| character_set_connection | utf8                                          |

| character_set_database   | utf8                                          |

| character_set_filesystem | binary                                        |

| character_set_results    | utf8                                          |

| character_set_server     | utf8                                          |

| character_set_system     | utf8                                          |

| character_sets_dir       | c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.12\share\charsets\ |

+--------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

8 rows in set

now our server is using utf-8 and urlencode/urldecode from the serializer is working fine.

Thanks Nicolas

I had the same problem ! Thanks Jesus to put me on track. 

As I can't  to access to system files, I wrote in haxe 

cnx.request("SET character_set_client = utf8");
cnx.request("SET character_set_results = utf8");
//etc

it works fine too.
