If I put a file with UTF8 encoded characters to a slide server, then slide will re-encode the filename in the webdavutils as mentioned in the mail!
This is not a problem when you specifically ask for the file since GET also uses this function! However when I ask for a propfind for all files in the collection where I put the file, then the HREF reference will be incorrect! The flaw is I slide server and not web folders! If you try to see what decodeURL(fixTomcatURL(result, "UTF-8")) returns when result is UTF8 encoded then you can see the problem! I general I do not understand why slide unescapes values inside slide - this should no be necessary! Also Slide does not verify that the encoding is correct for the URL or the request body - this can also result in some funny situations when a client with incorrect encoding adds data to the server! In slide.properties there is an option of setting a specific encoding! I have not set this value - again why should slide convert any data? I want the same encoding back as the one I put in! Is this specific enough or do you want en example? Also if I am missing something then please let me know! I found these problems by using a tcp trace tool! /Jacob -----Original Message----- From: Julian Reschke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 2. december 2003 18:56 To: Slide Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Microsoft Webfolder Support Jacob Lund wrote: > Webfolders in XP converts to UTF8 when uploading a file! > > Slide has a problem with UTF8 encoded URL!

Could you please elaborate? MS Webfolders work just fine with Microsoft IIS, Apache/moddav and our server. As far as I can tell, the UTF-8 handling works ok (in recent versions).
