Hello Kristian,

could you please elaborate what you mean by "decode"? Normally, you should not have to do anything, this is just an encoding and your $query variable should be able to handle UTF-8.

I just tested this to see if there might be a bug, but if I do e.g.

declare
  %rest:GET
  %rest:path("test/{$query}")
  %output:method("text")
function _:test(
  $query  as xs:string
) {
  $query
};

and access it at

http://localhost/restxq/test/%F0%9F%98%83

I get back my intended smile face.

So it might help if you describe what does not work as you expect it to. Because we want you to have a smiley face as well ;)

Cheers
Dirk

PS: At other people asking on the mailing list, Christian is currently on vacation and I can't answer stuff I know next to nothing about (e.g. WebDAV). So please be patient.

Hello!

I have a simplistic search path as %rest:GET %rest:path("search/{$query}") for an application. It all works fine with ASCII query string, but I can't figure out how to decode the string when It contains utf-8 characters.

Best wishes
Kristian K
