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
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'll try to elaborate. :-)
My search function is as basic as is in your test. But you can see the output at: http://tomcat.eki.ee/vadja/korpus/%F0%9F%98%83
Can it be a problem or setting of Tomcat or anything in between the browser and BaseX, for example Nginx?
Thank you for working your ass off while Christian is on vacation :-D Kristian K

Hello Kristian,
I guess you are correct and Tomcat or nginx. I would guess that Tomcat is the culprit (but that might be totally biased, just because I had lots of trouble with Tomcat). However, you might want to follow the advice given at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/138948/how-to-get-utf-8-working-in-java-... to configure the server.xml
Also, to find out whats going on you could test accessing your page without a reverse proxy (so to see if nginx is causing the issue) and then with Jetty instead of Tomcat. jetty is our default HTTP server, so if you start basexhttp it will use Jetty.
Regards Dirk
