Hi all,

I have written an application using Django 1.3 , apache2 and a mysql
db.
I'm using the db to store filepaths and filenames for legacy purposes
while serving them to users with apache.

Now mysql is using latin-1 (with the filenames most likely stored in
CP-1252) while Django uses utf-8.

I generate the links to the files thusly in my template:
   <a href="/DocDB{{path}}/{{file.filename|
urlencode}}">{{ file.filename }}</a>

This works until I have funky character, lets say File….pdf

Then my hyperlink reads:
<a href="/path/File%E2%80%A6.pdf">File….pdf</a>

While Apache throws a 404 with: NotFound /path/File….pdf

Obviously because it expects this link:
<a href="/path/File%85.pdf">File….pdf</a>

Any ideas how to fix this in the template?
Thanks
