Your panel/security? I will suppose you mean from PayPal. If not, I'm lost. BTW, it is not exactly what I would like to do, but tech guys from PayPal responded this to my ticket on making their calls UTF-8 encoded (just in case anyone needs it): Here are the steps you can follow: Log into PayPal https://www.paypal.com/webapps/customerprofile/summary.view Click the ‘My selling tools' Then scroll down to: More selling tools Click the ‘ PayPal button language encoding' link under the ‘Selling Preferences’ column Click ‘More Options’ Set ‘Encoding’ to ‘UTF-8’ in two dropdowns Click ‘Save’

Well, that Apache stuff looked promising, but didn't solve the issue. It seems to solve a slightly different problem (i.e. double parse special chars). About the other idea, it is PayPal the one sending me those chars, not myself. And I am not worried just for PayPal, but for Prestashop in general. I mean, we all usually do UTF-8, but if someone comes with the other basic url encoding, cannot we support it? I'm wondering... maybe Prestashop is validating URLs and does not accept this encoding? Is it possible? And, if it is, where do I look for that? Thanks for the reply anyway.

Hello there, I have discovered an issue with a client. I have simplified the URL for the example (PayPal sends lot of data). It is as follows: This one fails (shows 404) www.examplestore.com/module/paypalusa/validation?FIRSTNAME=Jos%E9 This one does not www.examplestore.com/module/paypalusa/validation?FIRSTNAME=José And weird thing is, they mean the same (%E9 == é URL encoded, although UTF-8 style would be %C3%A9, which also works fine, but I cannot change what PayPal sends back). Also, I have tested with something like www.examplestore.com/?a=%E9 And of course, it shows 404. So it is a general issue. Do you know why Prestashop doesn't play nice with the %E9 encoding and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
