Hello.

Today I've understood (uf... finaly :)) what's going on with ftp sites in our
local area network. The problem is that I do not see filenames that are in
russian. Most of computers in our network are Windows and thus in ftp client
(e.g konqueror or lftp) I have to set up remote charset to cp1251. But this make
no sense to firefox. The listings of ftp dirrectories are empty. Only English
filenames can be seen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find ftp site with some russian filenames. Sorry. I could not find one in
internet. Only in our LAN. If I find one, I'll tell you.
2. Open it.

Actual Results:  
This is the listing from firefox:
Index of ftp://10.10.178.178/Music/
Up to higher level directory
Directory: ALTERNATIVE 		25.07.2005 	18:23:00
Directory: DOOM-DEATH-HEAVY 		22.05.2004 	00:00:00
Directory: GOTHIC 		22.05.2004 	00:00:00
Directory: NEW 		28.01.2005 	00:00:00
Directory: NEW AGE - ETHNIC 		18.03.2005 	00:00:00
Directory: PUNK 		05.06.2004 	00:00:00
Directory: ROCK 		28.01.2005 	00:00:00
Directory: SOUNDTRACKS 		07.03.2005 	00:00:00
Directory: UNSORTED 		24.04.2005 	22:35:00


Expected Results:  
And this is the listing from lftp client:
peter@camobap ~/Desktop/Gentoo_dev_tips $ lftp ftp://10.10.178.178/Music/
cd ok, cwd=/Music
lftp 10.10.178.178:/Music> ls

Oops, sorry. WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061208 Firefox/2.0.0.1 with a new profile. Tons of extensions in mine main profile.

Comment 3

[[:Aleksej]]

Confirming.
It doesn't seem to be caused by extensions.
In my case, if a name cannot be parsed as UTF-8 correctly, it is not shown, no matter what Character Encoding is selected.
Suggest changing the product/component to Core: Networking: FTP, but it may be something more low-level.

Comment 4

[[:Aleksej]]

If it helps, my system character encoding is UTF-8.

Comment 5

[[:Aleksej]]

Now that I've read about the components, my best guess would be "Core: String", and second guess "Core: Networking".

Attachment: Another example (page source)

I probably have a similar problem. This is how page source looks.

This is a filename returned by FTP server (in IBM866 encoding):

╨Ч╨▓╨╡╨╖╨┤╨╜╤Л╨╡ ╨▓╨╛╨╣╨╜╤Л ╨н╨┐╨╕╨╖╨╛╨┤ 2 - ╨Р╤В╨░╨║╨░ ╨Ъ╨╗╨╛╨╜╨╛╨▓  [2].sub
