Arabic URLs being saves in lowercase while the browser sends them in upper case leading to 404

Description

when Arabic slugs are being saved, they get saved in the DB in lowercase which is not according to w3 standards http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10828833/utf-8-urls-must-be-uppercase-or-lowercase

this breaks the site as the browser sends buddypress request for the URLs in uppercase which causes 404 pages

for example
http://www.gametako.com/%D9%85%D8%AC%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86/%D9%85%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A-unity-%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%AA%D9%8A/

is not the same as

http://www.gametako.com/%d9%85%d8%ac%d9%85%d9%88%d8%b9%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%b7%d9%88%d8%b1%d9%8a%d9%86

any quick fixes before a full patch is made?

for now, I added

$path = strtolower($path);

to the bp_core_catchuri.php file

Thanks for the report, gametako. We'll need to be able to duplicate this first.

What slugs are you referring to? Usernames? Group slugs? Both?

Which browser are you using? Is this specific to only a certain browser?

  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 1.9

Not a regression, and no feedback for a month. Moving to 1.9, so we can look into what functions are used to save the slugs that are causing problems.

01.patch addresses group slug resolution for this UTF8 issue.

This will be fixed when rewrite rules are implemented.

In 7583:

Convert group slug to lower case when checking whether slug exists

For slugs containing only latin characters, the clause WHERE foo = 'bar'
is non-case-sensitive. However, this is not the case for different UTF8 slugs.
The result is that using the incorrect case in a URL would result in 404s.

Fixes #5056

Props gametako, r-a-y
