           Summary: charset not honored in GET parameters
           Product: konqueror
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: wolff@kde.org


Version:           4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2) (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.30-8-686-latitude

Situation:
- A webpage with f.e. ISO-8859-15 charset (both HTTP-header/HTML-meta advertize
it.)
- The webpage has a relative link like href="some.cgi?param=Dübel", where the
"ü" is encoded in ISO-8859-15, naturally.

Bug:
Konqueror will open the link and pass "Dübel" encoded in UTF8 as a parameter,
which will not be understood by the cgi, because it expects ISO-8859-15.

I know, I know, it's VERY bad practice by the webmaster, but still, I think
this may be considered a bug in Konqueror.
