In practice www-url-encoded POST params can use encodings other than UTF-8 (think of legacy Tcl applications that use one of the ISO-8859-x charsets). In this case URL parameters can contain references to 8-bit code points (in the form of %[A-F8-9][A-F0-9]) that are not valid UTF-8 code points. For example, %DC can be used as a percent encoding for the german umlaut Ü (if a Tcl application is based on ISO-8859-1). Currently, the decode procedure does not decode %DC as all one byte UTF-8 code points must start with [0-7]. This commit improves the handling of one byte percent encoded non-ASCII characters in the form of %[A-F8-9][A-F0-9]. It allows to use ncgi in application contexts that do not use UTF-8 as the base encoding. A pull request was created on Github. See https://github.com/tcltk/tcllib/pull/13 for more details. Thanks!
