How are special characters converted in squid ? For example my

expect in squid_kerb_ldap.

Are there fucntions in squid which convert strings into different
chracter sets?

Strings passed to external_acl_type are URL-encoded to protect against 
parsing errors (whitespace in usernames, header content, etc). The 
character set is not altered.
