The right way to do it would be to add a second optional argument for the charset to URL-DECODE and make the default value user-configurable on a per-request basis. Does that sound OK? I'll probably add something like this in the next days.

OK, I've done that now - version 0.8.0. Please try it out yourself. I've added some examples to test/test.lisp.

There's code in there for LispWorks, AllegroCL and Unicode-SBCL but I haven't tested with SBCL yet. Likewise, I only tested with the latest Firefox and IE on Windows.

Note that the part about "user-configurable on a per-request basis" is kind of hard becaue URL-DECODE is used when the REQUEST object is created, i.e. before the user's dispatchers and handlers are called. Thus the new function RECOMPUTE-REQUEST-PARAMETERS.

For some more info about HTML forms and character sets see this nice article:

ChangeLog:

Version 0.8.0 2005-09-24 Added the ability to cope with different external formats (incorporating suggestions from Will Glozer and Ivan Shvedunov) Raw post data is now always saved (so *SAVE-RAW-POST-DATA-P* is gone)
