utf-8 slug character doesn't work in url

[mojifier]

I add persian character to uri like this:

http://ci4.local:8080/تماس-با-ما

in routes.php :

$routes->get('/(:any)', 'Home::page/$1');

but i see this error:

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
ci4.local
Apache/2.4.41 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1c PHP/7.4.2

While I'm not 100% sure what's causing this particular error to show up, be aware that the HTTP spec requires characters other than US_ASCII to be url-encoded. That means that those characters are, unfortunately, disallowed by the spec.

I think that non-ASCII characters are automatically translated to ASCII by the server. But it's only my guess (I haven't checked).

Anyway, looking at the error I would say that this is not a CodeIgniter problem. Probably .htaccess? I would try to call http://ci4.local:8080/index.php/تماس-با-ما to check if this will work.

I cannot recreate using the latest CI develop branch and the built-in server.

I added the route:

$routes->get('/(:any)', 'Home::page/$1');

and modified the default controller by adding this method:

public function page($page = null)
{
	dd($page);
}

Visiting the URL localhost:8080/تماس-با-ما works just fine for me. Likely a server issue.

If you need additional help please visit the forums and ask there.

@lonnieezell I check all persian character. codeigniter .htaccess have a problem with ‍م‍ character. I change:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

to

RewriteRule ^([\s\S]*)$ index.php/$1 [L,NC,QSA]

and my problem with م character is fixed now.

i think my apache web server, have problem with this character.

Good find. I've included that in the latest code.
