Just a guess here, but by default, TCL is compiled with Latin-1 encoding. This causes some issues when you are trying to do certain things in utf-8, even if you set all possible TCL config variables to use the UTF-8 charset. You could attempt to recompile TCL with
--with-encoding utf-8 But in the end, your final comment is correct, it is best to encode the filename, then you don't have to worry about a bunch of special cases.

Same results. --- We did have the problems using AOLserver 3.3 Anybody an idea what the cause might be? Probably its better to always encode file names of uploaded filesto avoid trouble when creating multi-plattform applications. Thanks for your support!
