[users@httpd] german umlauts in filename

[Hajo Locke <ha...@gmx.de>]

Hello List,

i have some files with german umlauts ö ä ü in filename and want to request 
them by http.
filename is coded in latin1, in console/ftp etc. all works well and looks 
good.
when requesting file ü.txt i see this error in log:
File does not exist: \xc3\xbc.txt

It just works if i recode charset of filename with convmv to utf8.
convmv -f latin1 -t utf8 ü.txt --notest

I cant do this for all my files.
Is there a way to help apache find the file even if its filename is coded 
not in utf8?

Thanks,
Hajo

this works. is not my preferred solution for this but it works for now. i 
will fix my ftp-server to store filenames utf8

You could try rewriting utf-8 representation of umlaut [or other
common char people type into the URL directly] into your local
codepage representation.

hmm, but when typing url directly in browser in most cases utf8 is used by 
browser.
how to solve this?

Use links that are URL-encoded with the proper bytes so clients don't
have to choose the codepage to request in.
