335099 - Missing support for UTF-8 enabled FTP servers.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 26767

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tim Kosse]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

Firefox fails to display UTF-8 encoded filenames on servers which support RFC 2640 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2640.html).
It interprets and displays filenames as ISO-8859-1. If encoding is set to UTF-8 manually using the View menu, the filenames are displayed properly.

In most cases it's still possible to browse the server and transfer files using the wrongly displayed filenames.

However, if a filename contains the character 'ß' (ß), Firefox completely fails to perform any operation on that file and even if setting the encoding to UTF8 manually, the filename still fails to decode.


I've also tried out the latest trunk nightly (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2006-04-22-04-trunk/firefox-3.0a1.en-US.win32.zip). Filenames aren't displayed properly either and in addition to that, performing any operations on the files fail.

Internet Explorer has no problems with UTF-8 enabled FTP servers.

Reproducible: Always
