Hi all,
Does anybody know how can I access the raw CGI parameters?
For example I enter this in a textarea:
and get this value instead:
qweşlţqwe.com
with the language specific characters turned into HTML entities,
which is not exactly what I need... How can I access the raw
string? Or can I prevent this conversion to take place... ?
Thank you in advance,
Alex
What is this? Webrick, Mongrel, Rails, etc. Difficult to help if we
have no idea what libraries you are using.

Thanks for trying 
and sorry for being so vague.
I am using Apache, plain Ruby run as cgi and the standard cgi module,
like this:
require 'cgi'
cgi = CGI.new
cgi['idn-domain-name-here.com'] # == BIG_SURPRISE!
I enter this 'qweşlţqwe.com' and get this 'qweşlţqwe.com'
instead. I solved the problem by using 'htmlentities':
http://htmlentities.rubyforge.org/
which btw, works excellent, but I'd still be interested if there is
a solution to achieve this just by using the cgi module itself (and
preventing the encoding in the first place).
Thank you!
Alex
I would be interested to know if someone has a more core-ruby solution?
