[users@httpd] UTF-8 URLs problem
I've several files on my Apache (1.3.31) with hungarian accentuated
letters. Browsers (IE, Opera default setting) send URL-s with UTF-8
encoding, and the web-server cannot get these files. Logs ("élet.doc"):
"Encode international web-address. in UTF-8" enabled (Opera)
127.0.0.1 - - [29/Jun/2004:10:50:09 +0200] "GET /%C3%A9let.doc HTTP/1.1"
404 283
UTF-8 disabled:
127.0.0.1 - - [29/Jun/2004:10:49:50 +0200] "GET /%E9let.doc HTTP/1.1" 200
0
I cannot notice so many users to change the default setting in their
browsers...
I've tested Apache 1.3.27-1.3.31 and 2.0.49 (SuSE and Debian distribs,
with en_US/hu_HU.UTF-8 locales), but the results are the same.
According to
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#non-ascii-chars
the UTF-8 URL encoding, as I see, is standard. Why not use it Apache?

Browsers need you to tell them the encoding of your documents.
Use addcharset/family directives.
So long as you tell browsers the charset the encoding of your documents,
what they do with it is up to them. If you get problems from browser
bugs, the workaround is probably to avoid using characters that give
rise to the problems.
