Bug Description
Hello.
First, thank you for your work, thank you for very nice Zim aplication!
My problem:
I have a link
https:/
or
https:/
It is the same link name in different notations.
In zim i can see link in normal view - like
"https:/
But when i click on this link in Zim, programm start my browser (Maxthon 4.9), and my browser open page with error, by adress
https:/
As we can see - this is a problem with encoding. If we try encoding in Russia we can see https:/
It is broken symbols, right variant which we must get https:/
If i use latin link, like
https:/
- all works fine! And page open in browser correctly.
But if i try use non-latin symbosl in adrees - link open incorrect in browser.
Another example
Link
https:/
Opened with error
https:/
Please, help me!
Zim 0.65, windows 8.1, if it help.
Thank you!
Justin.
This is a known issue - believe there is another report open as well.
Problem is that I don't know upfront how the browser will handle UTF8, so we assume an encoding standard, but can still be wrong.
Probably needs patch that is different per browser used.
