Re: Trouble with Unicode in URLs

[Gaius <james.a.rosen@gmail.com>]

Well, I don't have a problem. My point is that I had to build a
middleware to solve the problem. To me, that indicates that some part
of Rack (either core or contrib) might want this unencoding so others
don't have the same problem.  Of course, if it's really an httpd
problem, I'd rather solve it there.

I haven't done anything to httpd.conf other than add Passenger, as
evidenced by the following diff:

$ diff /etc/apache2/httpd.conf{,.original}
486d485
< SSLSessionCache dbm:/var/log/apache2/ssl_gcache_data
490,507d488
<
< LoadModule passenger_module /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/
passenger-2.2.4/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
< <IfModule passenger_module>
< PassengerRoot /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.4
< PassengerRuby /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/
usr/bin/ruby
< </IfModule>

< # Added by the Passenger preference pane
< # Make sure to include the Passenger configuration (the LoadModule,
< # PassengerRoot, and PassengerRuby directives) before this section.
< <IfModule passenger_module>
<   NameVirtualHost *:80
<   <VirtualHost *:80>
<     ServerName _default_

<   Include /private/etc/apache2/passenger_pane_vhosts/*.conf
< </IfModule>
