I have a Flask based web application running, I am not sure whether the following two urls are equivalent with respect to a Flask request
www.example.com/hello?a=Hello+G%C3%BCnter
and
www.example.com/hello?a=Hello Günter
How are these urls translated into a Flask Request internally ?
The browser (or any other http client, like curl) should translate both of these urls into www.example.com/hello?a=Hello+G%C3%BCnter
before sending to server, because www.example.com/hello?a=Hello Günter
is not a valid HTTP URL. So Flask will receive www.example.com/hello?a=Hello+G%C3%BCnter
in both cases, and supply it to view function arguments decoded, as "Hello Günter"
.
