Subject: RE: tomcat 5.5 Unicode issues!
Hi,
Well I didn’t quite understand you all the way but trying to use your
example lats say I have a file named Hello%20There.html when I try to
access this file I get 404.
Probably because the tomcat recognize the character % as illegitimate.
So is there a way to tell tomcat that special characters like % â €™ will
be parsed correctly if its not Unicode issue that what can it be?
Thanks in advanced
Shahar,
Do you see what Mark is showing you?
See what has to happen now?
What I'm saying is that who ever is wrting the files to disk like that in
the first place has screwed up...
Fix that if you can...
eg
/Hello There.html
In the Url becomes
Hello%20There.html
If that is Decoded properly... and written to disk.... the file name will be
Hello There.html
But if its not decoded the file name will be..
Hello%20There.html
And now to get that in a browser it becomes...
Hello%2520There.html
and if that is wrtten back to disk... its just a cock up
......
To see what I'm saying open google
Type hello there as a search... and search
Then look at the URL.... see whats happening... that is called URL
Encoding... its not unicode.
.....
Just stop the file names from looking funny in the first place... thats what
I'm saying.
Who wants to type
Hello%2520There.html
anywhere ;)
If it is a language thing as well then the UTF8 stuff is happening on top of
URL Encoding...
even if it is chinese... its still getting messed up... the decoding is
wrong
When ever you see %20 and %24 and %40 in stuff... its pretty much telling
you that is not decoded.
Read up on URL Encoding... its not a unicode thing... I think even if you
are working with langauges...
ie I'm pretty sure windows can display foreign langauges correctly and they
dont have a %20 in them... is what we trying to tell you.
Have fun
