I have a fix, but I don't know why it's needed where it's needed.

The thing that concerns me is that I've looked at the other places that call cgi URL, and they are not doing decode_utf8.

I've checked in the fix. Still though question if Foswiki::Request::url() shouldn't return a unicode string instead of needing the caller to do it.

As I understand it, Foswiki::Reponse::uri is intended to be as code-compatible with HTTP::Response as possible. However uri() doesn't seem to be part of this protocol (see http://search.cpan.org/~ether/HTTP-Message-6.11/lib/HTTP/Response.pm) so if (and only if) this isn't an implementation of an internal method with hidden but defined semantics, it should be all right to enhance it with a decode. Make sure it isn't used anywhere else, though.

It's url not uri, and that is implemented in CGI. I can't find anywhere that documents if the CGI function does any decoding of the ULR, so I think we should probably not change the url subroutine. I'll add some documentation into Foswiki::Request. Actually I wonder if this might be related to running CGI with the qw( -utf8 ) pragma. CGI returns byte strings unless the -utf8 pragma is enabled.
