IIS Decoding querystring improperly

[Steve Ricketts]

I'm sending German text in a querystring, EINF�HRUNG, so I escape it and it
becomes EINF%DCHRUNG before sending. However, on the server side (2008,
IIS7) it is received as EINF<?>HRUNG... where the "<?>" is actually a
single character (that I can't copy into this e-mail).

Can anyone explain what is happening and how to fix it?

Many thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

The updated URL Rewrite Module 1.1 includes bug fixes that should help fix
this problem:

Jeffrey,
Thanks so much for your reply. Is this something I just need to install or
do I need to write a rule to explicitly deal with German characters?

Thanks again,

sr

Hi Steve,

I'm not in a position to reproduce and test this in my lab right now but I
believe the fix will allow you to return the querystring as it was sent. So
if you send EINF%DCHRUNG then your querystring value will be EINF%DCHRUNG.
Please give it a whirl in your test environment and let us know how it works
out.
