How to redirect to a query string URL containing non-ascii characters in DJANGO?
django, httpresponse, python, unicode
Solution
HttpResponseRedirect(((u'/page/?title=' + query_string).encode('utf-8'))
is the first thing to try (since UTF8 is the only popular encoding that can handle all Unicode characters). That should definitely get rid of the exception you're observing -- the issue then moves to ensuring the handler for `/page` can properly deal with UTF-8 encoded queries (presumably by decoding them back into Unicode). However, that part is not, strictly speaking, germane to this specific question you're asking!
