I have Apache 2.2.3 on Windows XP sp2.

With Apache 1.3.33 there was no problem to define in "httpd.conf" an alias for a directory that have accents in his name.

The following entries was valid:
*****************
Alias /dev "E:/dév/"
<Directory "E:/dév">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
*****************

Now with Apache 2.2.3, the same enties make the Apache server to not start.
You have to code it in UTF-8 instead :
*****************
Alias /dev "E:/dév/"
<Directory "E:/dév">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
*****************

This way the alias is correct and HTML files can be normally accessed with the URL
 http://localhost/dev/hello.html
But it doesn't work with PHP script because "E:/dév/" is not a correct path for PHP.
When you try to call any script in the aliased directory
 http://localhost/dev/myscript.php
you have an error:
*****************
Warning (E:/Dév/myscript.php) failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
*****************

Do you know if there is a way to make Apache or the Alias module to deals with accents the same way it used to with Apache 1.3.x ?
Is this can be considered as a bug ?
