tomcat failed to serve static files having non-lating characters in their path

           Summary: tomcat failed to serve static files having non-lating
                    characters in their path
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.6 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: anton@engec.ru


Hi Developers,

I use default configuration of the latest Apache Tomcat/4.1.30 running with 
Windows 2000 Server SP4 Russian edition. Default configuration allows to 
server static content like HTML pages and images via DefaultServlet of 
catalina class. It happened, that no resources with non-latin symbols in their 
path can be accessed. Server reply is: 404 - resource is not available.
Specifically, if name of the file or directory contains any Cyrillic symbols 
(or non-lating in general, as I see in other postings), tomcat can’t find it 
any more. I checked the correctness of encoding by browser (IE and Opera) and 
found out, that they both give out perfect %-encoding of UTF-8 string.
My suggestion is that there is some issue in URI decoder in DefaultServlet.

Here extract from my default web.xml:

web.xml:
   <servlet>
        <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
          org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>debug</param-name>
            <param-value>0</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>listings</param-name>
            <param-value>true</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

I'll be happy to know, that it is not a bug, but my configuration mistake, if 
anybody gives me a clue.

Sincerely,
Anton Golubev
ENGECON
