please clarify, when you say regression, do you mean this worked recently and
now does not?  If so, do you know approximately when this broke?
Another interesting data point: can the browser open this file successfully?

(1)By regression, I mean tests on other versions and platforms to determine
whether the same bug occurs elsewhere. I tried three different files on two
different machines running Japanese OS, plus Japanese WindowsNT and MacOS 8.5
US. I do not know when this started happening because we have not done much
testing in this area.

(2)Apprunner can open files on Japanese OS in browser mode.

tague, I have no idea what to do with this.  I don't have any reason to think
this is in your area specifically, but we need some help. Can you do some
preliminary investigation?

this bug might be related to #12640

My guess here is that file: URLs break on systems with multi-byte characters
in file names. This should probably go to a necko person.

Putting on [PP] radar

[Warren Harris]

Probably a dup of 10373 -- we don't deal with non-ascii URLs yet.
