[users@httpd] Apache returns 404 not found for non ascii filenames with Java Plugin.
I searched the archives and the web for this problem but was unable to
find a clear solution.
Basically the problem is as follows:
In our java applet it downloads images from the web server. Recently we
have been experimenting with using Apache 2 on windows instead of IIS.
A lot of our images have japanese character filenames and/or japanese
character directory paths. ie. non-ascii.
Apache will return a 404 not found for these.
for example: (I can't write japanese with this mail client so I will use
capital letters to indicate japanese characters)
if the file is images/JA_NAME.jpg
then Apache returns 404 not found.
In the access log Apache shows a request for images/JA_NAME.jpg and a
404. This file exists exactly as Apache wrote in the log.
If you enter images/ in the browser it lists all the files, including
images/JA_NAME.jpg.
Click on this and the browser will load
images/%e6%bc%a2%e5%ad%97%e5%90%8d.jpg and you can see the image.
In the access log it shows images/%e6%bc%a2%e5%ad%97%e5%90%8d.jpg and
200 which I assume means success.
A few other points
In Internet Explorer 5.5 entering either images/JA_NAME.jpg or
images/%e6%bc%a2%e5%ad%97%e5%90%8d.jpg succeeds so maybe IE converts
before requesting.
In Netscape(R) Communicator 4.7 Japanese version only
images/%e6%bc%a2%e5%ad%97%e5%90%8d.jpg will work.
If java is told explicity to load images/%e6%bc%a2%e5%ad%97%e5%90%8d.jpg
it will work.
My boss read on the internet about a module called mod_encoding for
non-ascii files however this seems to be for linux only. I'm not sure
if there is a version for windows yet. Does anyone have any information
about this.
It may seem to be a problem with java and URL encoding and could well be
however the fact that it works fine with IIS makes me wonder if there is
a way to get it working on Apache Win32.
I would appreciate any help or experience anyone can give.

I don't know if you are using java for it (java is where I have the problem) but
here are a few ideas I don't have time to try at the moment:
If you think some may help your situation please try them and if they work I'd
be grateful if you could let me know.
My boss found a setting in IE (in japanese) that said something like always send
URL in UTF-8.
Java has a decodeurl and encodeurl static class and method.
>From java 1.4 you can specify the language encoding of the URL.
I tried it on java 1.3 which doesn't let you specify the encoding and it encoded
the ":" in http:// to %<some number> and then Java's URL class said it wasn't a
valid URL. I didn't have time to experiment further.
I have yet to try just encoding the japanese filename and then appending that to
"http://somehost/somedir/".
I also plan to try encoding using different language encodings but have to
upgrade to Java SDK 1.4 for that.
its on the back burner at the moment but when I check some of those ideas and if
I get it working I'll let you know.

Hi Anthony,
I'm still looking for a solution for both of us I guess, I just started

Thanks Jeff,
I downloaded and tried 1.3.27 on win32 (the latest 1.3 version I believe)
yesterday but now the URL images/JA_NAME.jpg becomes
\xb6\xc0\xb6\xc5/\xb6\xc0\x83J\x83i.jpg in the access log with a 403
and the url images/%e6%bc%a2%e5%ad%97%e5%90%8d.jpg have code 404.

Hi Anthony,
As far as I know (from same problem in Hebrew) this feature is not supported
in the 2.x versions, I didn't have that problem previously when I had
1.3.2x.
If you find something that might make it to work I'll be very happy if
you'll share it with me.
