The problem did not exist in 1.3b5 but reappeared in 1.3.0.
When a URL includes the character '�', Apache truncates the URL at the position where the '�' character is, and tries to serve that URL to the client. Example: http://www.company.com/some�file.htm is trucated by Apache 1.3.0 to: http://www.company.com/some Other international character like �, �, �, � and � work just fine. >How-To-Repeat: Create a file named 'file�.htm' and try to access from a web running Apache 1.3.0. I'm sorry for not beeing able to supply a URL for this but our webserver depends on files containing the character '�'. Therefor I have now downgraded to 1.3b5 as a work-around. >Fix: Something must have changed between 1.3b5 and 1.3.0 in the source. I'm not qualified enough to guess where this change might be though. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
