20292 - FTP not show some Japanese directory names correctly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26767

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect, P2)

Description

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

** Observed with 11/29/99 Win32 build (1999112908) **

Mozilla seems to have a left panel which displays directory structure of an FTP site.
The above URL contains 3 directories under it. The first 2 are escaped names of the 3rd
directory. The 3rd one is in Japanese and should display as Japanese
under Japanese (EUC-JP) encoding but instead it shows in Latin characters.

Here's how you can reproduce the problem:

0. (Make sure that you have a Japanese font on your system.)
1. Set the Broweser encoding to: View | Character Set: Multibyte | Japanese (EUC-JP)
2. Go to the above URL.
3. Observe that the 3rd directory from the top is NOT in Japanese.

As a contrast, use Comm 4.7 and followe the same steps as above. You will see the name of the 3rd directroy
in Japanese.

Although we are nort displaying Japanese names, we seem to be resolving the directory
and file names in Japanese correctly.
I depposited a Japanese-named file under the 3rd link (which is in Japanese).
The current build is able to get inside this directory and also is able to display the
contents of the Japanese-named .html file.

Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new
Networking component.

over to don. the directory content viewer needs to be able to dispaly other
languages.

The url bar bug is 11083

Comment 4

[don]

Move to M16 for now ...

Comment 5

[don]

Move to M21 target milestone.

Comment 6

[bobj]

This is a regression from 4.x.
Does moving this to M21 imply it won't be fixed for 6.0?

Does this only happen in the sidebar?  Or does regular ftp URL not render
the third directory correctly as well?

Comment 11

[Yuying Long]

I checked in regular ftp URL/WinME-ja, the 3rd directory name can be display 
correctly on Mtest build(01-31-2001) after you choose EUC-jp encoding, however, 
when you go View|Character Coding, Unicode(UTF-8) has been marked instead of 
EUC-jp even by click the EUC-jp again.  The 3rd directory name still display as 
Latin on Mtrunk build(02-02-2001), and Unicode(UTF-8) has been marked too.

Comment 12

[Chris McAfee]

talked with ylong, this is a general ftp display problem,
removing sidebar from summary.

Comment 13

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

Yes. That agrees with what I reported originally. 
I was referring to a tree view of FTP directories
on the left side of the browser window as 'side panel',
not the Sidebar.
