Using advanced URL handling optionsIf you know the type of character encoding that a site uses for its URLs, you can specify it in the site wizard before the site is imported. Unicode's UTF16 and UTF8 encodings cover all major languages and platforms. % HH Escaping uses hexadecimal encoding notations for character escaping in URLs (for example, %20 is used to escape spaces, which are not allowed in URLs). You can also check for case sensitivity in URLs. These advanced URL handling options remain in effect for the new site. After you create the site, you can change the URL character encoding (but not the URL case sensitive checking) for the new site in the Site Settings dialog box. To comply with W3C standards, you should select both URL encoding options. (See Specifying preferences and settings for Web sites.) |
