I recall seeing this trick when Sven published it, but I have never tried it. Trying it now, I get strange results. I entered: 'https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/péripétie' asFileReference asUrl. And when I inspect the result, it is the address of a non-existent file in my image directory. I am using Moose 6.1 ( Pharo 6.0 Latest update: #60541) on Windows 10. This is not a current image, I know, but it is more recent than the date of Sven's post (Dec 2014). Has something changed since 2014?
Incidentally, I tried the other trick Sven cites in the same thread. The same url as above can be written: 'https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki' asUrl / 'péripétie'. This works fine, and is neater than the alternative with explicit percent encoding which I currently use. So thanks Sean for pointing me to the thread.

Sven actually found a trick to handle this case and then forgot he he [1]. Just in case you still have the issue: 'http://myhost/path/with/umlaut/äöü.txt' asFileReference asUrl. 1. http://forum.world.st/Umlauts-in-ZnUrl-tp4793736.html ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
