[PATCH] mod_autoindex: understand entity names
The appended patch fixes two shortcomings in mod_autoindex's
AddDescription logic:
1) Entity Names (like ü) are parsed and counted as having a width
of "one character". Until now, their length was taken in column
counting, resulting in too early truncated description columns.
2) The last character of a description text which had the maximum
allowed length (27?) was overwritten with the "truncated" character
('>'). This didn't make the string any shorter, but made it
unreadable :-( Now the string is truncated only if it really
exceeds the maximum length.
Please vote....
