How to redirect to a query string URL containing non-ascii characters in DJANGO?
When I use return HttpResponseRedirect(u'/page/?title=' + query_string) where the query_string contains characters like 你好, I get an error
‘ascii’ codec can’t encode characters in position 21-26: ordinal not
in range(128), HTTP response headers must be in US-ASCII format …
is the first thing to try (since UTF8 is the only popular encoding that can handle all Unicode characters). That should definitely get rid of the exception you’re observing — the issue then moves to ensuring the handler for
/pagecan properly deal with UTF-8 encoded queries (presumably by decoding them back into Unicode). However, that part is not, strictly speaking, germane to this specific question you’re asking!
