Description

It seems RequestUtils.toAbsolutePath() has a bug regarding to UTF-8 encoded page parameter :

I have a bookmarkable page , which takes a UTF-8 encoded parameter "place" :

private PageParameters pps;
pps.put("place", URLEncoder.encode(place , "UTF-8"));

In this Page , I have a TextField that prints the URL for this page (for users to copy) :
String url = RequestUtils.toAbsolutePath("");
TextField resultUrl;
resultUrl = new TextField("resultUrl");
resultUrl.setModel(new Model( url ));
resultUrl.setEscapeModelStrings(false);
resultUrl.setOutputMarkupId(true);
add(resultUrl);

For example , "台北市" (Chinese word : "Taipei" ) is encoded correctly to :
place/%25E5%258F%25B0%25E5%258C%2597%25E5%25B8%2582
And it is correctly shown in the browser URL bar.

But it is incorrectly shown in the textfield :
place/%E5%8F%B0%E5%8C%97%E5%B8%82
