The underlying problem which caused this bug is that query parameters, at least, are not being tagged with any particular encoding. Based on some reading, it’s my understanding that modern Rails versions do correctly indicate the encoding of parameters provided in request bodies (by looking at the C…

Looks like they rejected it: (I submitted it to Rails, and it was rejected because this is fixed in another way in Rails 5. But Discourse is still on Rails 4.)

Specifically here: ASCII comes in two flavors that need to be UTF-8ified. by begrif · Pull Request #30119 · rails/rails · GitHub (link goes to a particular comment). It could be that’s me just going about submitting fixes in the wrong way.

It looks like this is fixed in Rails 5 but it is unclear when we can move Discourse to that (we are currently on Rails 4). There are typically a lot of performance regressions in each new release of Rails that we have to help fix, so it takes some time for us to move.

It’s a bug that’s been fixed a few hours ago. Update to latest.
