I take it back -- there wasn't a jump.cgi bug at all. I've reverted it to
the previous working version.
I forgot that the % charcter becomes encoded by the article-display code, so
the URL that invokes jump.cgi is actually this, with double URL encoding (note
that % is encoded here to be %25)...
http://www.lugnet.com/jump.cgi?http://hugin.ldraw.org/LEGO/Transport/Skibe/Rob%25E5d/
...which jump.cgi receives and morphs into this...
http://hugin.ldraw.org/LEGO/Transport/Skibe/Rob%E5d/
...which gets sent back to the web browser like this...
Location: http://hugin.ldraw.org/LEGO/Transport/Skibe/Rob%E5d/
...which is supposedly (but currently not actually) the correct URL. But
jump.cgi is performing correctly.
I suspect that when Jacob tested the link, it worked for him because he
has (I'm guessing) his language-accept settings set to Danish, and his
webserver saw this and automagically served him this page:
http://hugin.ldraw.org/LEGO/Transport/Skibe/Rob%E5d/index.da.html
Maybe it would work if there were an index.en.html or index.html file in that
directory?
I'm not sure why the error page on hugin.ldraw.org is reporting that it got
a raw 8-bit character in its URL. I suspect it's a bug in the webserver and
it's reporting the URL on the page after %XX-decoding it.
