Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the encoding of URLs in ASCII systems using UTF-8. It specifies that applications must uniformly use UTF-8 for URL and form field encoding and decoding, warning against isolated changes to escape_url and unescape_url in CL_HTTP_UTILITY/IF_HTTP_UTILITY. It requires implementing corrections in the ABAP environment and a kernel patch specific to system versions. Further ABAP adjustments involve changing data handling types and adding parameters to the escape and unescape methods. Adherence to this note is critical for maintaining proper URL encoding standards in specific SAP applications.
