Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: File, defect)

Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Linux 2002110804 (after bug 102812 check-in)

1) % touch ~/qqαειου
2) load ~ in mozilla with file:
3) scroll down to q's, see the file shows fine
4) mouse over the link, see it only links to ~/qq, and drops the 8 bit characters
5) manually paste in $HOME/qqαειου
6) see "file not found $HOME/qq" error

Note before the checkin, clicking on that file would load:

file:///home/jmd/qq%E1%E5%E9%EF%F5

which is correct

We tested the patch of bug 102812 on Windows.
ylong, could you test today's trunk for Windows, Linux and Mac?

This 8bit folder/file can be opened for me if I set the browser default charset
properly.

I see...

My locale is normally "POSIX". Changing it to en_US allowed the file to load.
Unfortunaly everything else about en_US is extremely annoying so I'm stuck with
POSIX and not being able to load such files with file:, I guess.

bug 179146 filed for change charset form bowser default to system default for
local file list.  And bug 179143 filed for unable to open some non-ascii folder
name.

nhotta: could you update the QA contact as well? Since dougt is not assigned, I
probably should not be the QA contact either.
