[users@httpd] Automatic rewrite of Latin-1 and Accentless URL to UTF-8 IRI
Hello,
I was wondering if someone would know how to automatically support
the rewriting (aliasing ?) of URL on a whole site to do the following.
Support IRI of the type :
http://hapax.qc.ca/Recettes/No%C3%ABl.html (viz. Noël.html in UTF-8)
while at the same time support URLs encoded in Latin-1 and
automatically point to the above resource :
http://hapax.qc.ca/Recettes/No%EBl.html
and yet better also support ASCII ones for the diacritically-impaired :
http://hapax.qc.ca/Recettes/Noel.html
I would like this to be automatically done across all URLs and not
have to list all the URLs in their three forms...
The idea here is to gracefully migrate to RFC 3987 (and having UTF-8
encoded resources names on the server) while supporting various
constituencies of users, some which will use the old file names (no
accents) and those using for instance Firefox in its default setting
which will send the Latin-1 %-encoded URLs. Somehow, I believe this
could be a common problem for Europeans moving to Utf-8 encoded URLs.
Did somebody already work on such a problem? Is there a classical
solution to this problem?
Many thanks in advance for any insights,
P. A.

I think this is what
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/apache-modules/mod_fileiri/mod_fileiri.c is
doing. http://www.w3.org/2003/Talks/0904-IUC-IRI/slide19-0.html
Is it available in Apache 2.2? If not, why not?

[chop]
Are you talking about HTTP headers or document bodies?
In the former case, I wonder if you could devise an
all-in-one regexp to use with "Header edit"?
In the latter case, you need to parse the output to
know what is a URL. You could use mod_proxy_html
with a regexp rule as above, or with version 3
just select ASCII output and the issue goes away.
