Hi!
  Today we've found that winebrowser gets invalid URL consisting of many
question marks instead of correct URL, in at least two cases:
  1) Attempt to buy a game in Steam (yes, we are regularly doing that)
  2) Trying to buy a program called CPT-Master from 3am systems, free demo
which shows the problem when "Buy now" button is pressed in its welcome
screen, can be downloaded at
http://www.3amsystems.com/products/CPT-Master.exe

The following commit has been identified as making the regression:

e547cf7043e36fecfe5e23d1d6f93a9c5ba89c46 is first bad commit

    winebrowser: Convert to Unicode.

It really looks related to the problem which I'm reporting :-).
BTW, my system is NOT running in Unicode. Maybe is it related ? I hope it is
not yet mandatory. I'm using iso-8859-2 encoding, which works much better
in my normal working environment.

Please do your best to fix it before 1.0, I feel it really bad and I think
that many programs may be affected by it.

Should I submit a bug too ?

With regards, Pavel Troller
