[jira] [Commented] (COMPRESS-212) TarArchiveEntry getName() returns wrongly encoded name even when you set encoding to TarArchiveInputStream

["Stefan Bodewig (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-212?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13543039#comment-13543039 ] 

Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-212:
-----------------------------------------

Just a few quick questions:

How has the original archive been created?  When reading the archive, how do you sepcify the encoding exactly?  "utf-8"?

>             Project: Commons Compress
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.1
>         Environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, MS Windows 7
>            Reporter: Woo Ju Shin
>            Priority: Minor
>
> I have two file systems. One is Red Hat Linux, the other is MS Windows.
> I created a *.tgz file in Red Hat Linux and tried to decompress it in MS Windows using Commons Compress.
> The default system encoding are different. UTF-8 in Red Hat Linux and CP949 in MS Windows.
> It seems that the file name encoding follows the default encoding even though when I use the following to untar it.
> FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File(*.tgz));
> TarArchiveInputStream zis = new TarArchiveInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(fis),encodingOfRedHatLinux);
> while ((entry = (TarArchiveEntry)zis.getNextEntry()) != null)
> {
> entry.getName(); // filename is not UTF-8 it is encoded in CP949 and so the filename isn't consistent
> }
> By referring to this
>     /**
>      * Constructor for TarInputStream.
>      * @param is the input stream to use
>      * @param encoding name of the encoding to use for file names
>      * @since Commons Compress 1.4
>      */
>     public TarArchiveInputStream(InputStream is, String encoding) {
>         this(is, TarBuffer.DEFAULT_BLKSIZE, TarBuffer.DEFAULT_RCDSIZE, encoding);
>     }
> encoding should be used for file names.
> But actually this doesn't seem to work.
