I noticed that gitweb tries a lot to properly process UTF-8 data, for
example it prints my name correctly in log and commit information, but
it echos junk in the search field. It looks like:
MichaÅ Kiedrowicz
I don't know CGI well and I never touched gitewb code, but I found this
on http://www.lemoda.net/cgi/perl-unicode/index.html:
use CGI '-utf8';
my $value = params ('input');
I tried it and that fixed my problem. I'm not sure about the
consequences, maybe someone more experienced in CGI might help?
