The decode() function in the URI module crashes when I try to decode
non-english characters. urldecode() in the urllib works though, so I had to
use that one instead.

That's all.

Can you provide a test case? I'd like to fix this. -Walter

Well, I tried it again with this code:

import uri;

void main()
{
 char[] path = "/file.exe?name=M%E5rten%20Ask";
 printf(uri.decode(path));
}

which should print:

/file.exe?name=Mårten Ask

but all I get is "Error: URI error". I have no clue why it isn't working.

The error is caused by %E5 being the start of a UTF-8 sequence, but 'r' is not a valid continuation. All continuations for UTF-8 sequences have bit 7 set to 1.
