368647 - Uploading chinese filenames in a form

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 162361

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Taras Di]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061206 Firefox/1.5.0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061206 Firefox/1.5.0.9

Choosing a filename with Chinese filenames to upload by using the browse button and the file selector causes the filename to get mangled in the 'text input' section of the file uploading control.

eg: Choosing this file:
E:\Translation\Website Development\webroot\testing\mock_files\中.txt

Results in the following text being displayed in the 'text input' section (prior to form submission)
E:\Translation\Website Development\webroot\testing\mock_files\_.txt

Copy and pasting the filename into the 'text input' section (eg: E:\Translation\Website Development\webroot\testing\mock_files\中.txt) doesn't result in the filename getting mangled, but inspecting the submitted value using PHP shows that the filename gets mangled to _.txt.

Exact same procedures work perfectly in Internet Explorer, so I'm guessing that the problem is something to do with how FF communicates to the Windows filesystem.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to a page with a file upload control
2.Browse to a file with chinese characters in it
3.Click OK
Actual Results:  
See details

Expected Results:  
Correct filename appears
