Hello all,

I have a simple html form which has an <INPUT TYPE="FILE"/> field in it.

Now when I select a file that contains Scandanavian characters (such as
umlauts) it is not being URL encoded properly before being sent. As a
result,  my jsp page which accepts posts of files via the FileUpload package
is not interpreting the file name correctly.

Has anyone seen this problem, first? And does anyone have a solution for
this issue?


For example, if I select a file say:

filename="C:\Documents and Settings\Robert.Priest\Desktop\���.txt"

what is sent in the request is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Robert.Priest\Desktop\???.txt"


and what is seen by if you do a FileItem.getName() is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Robert.Priest\Desktop\???.txt


So the method FileUploadBase.getFileName(Map /* String, String */ headers)
does not see the correct filename when it executes: 

 if (start != -1 && end != -1)
            {
                fileName = cd.substring(start + 10, end).trim();
            }


The following is the multipart requests that IE sends using such a file
(with umlauts) in the name:
