Sebastian, I'm not sure what script you want to see. The behavior I described was when using Firebug to observe the manual file upload behavior on the Garmin Connect website (http://connect.garmin.com/transfer/upload#). You'll need to sign up for a free account if you want to watch that transaction.
Here's a link to a sample data file (http://developer.garmin.com/schemas/tcx/v2/samples/FitnessHistoryDetail.tcx). You can rename it to include a Finnish character in the file name and try the upload. I am trying to figure out a bug in my Python program by observing the behavior of their file upload process. In my Python program, uploads fail when they contain the Finnish characters. When using the manual file upload on the Garmin Connect web site, it appears to accept the filename with Finnish characters, and according to Firebug, it sends the Finnish characters in the filename. However, when I inspect that transaction with Wireshark, the Finnish 'ö' appears to be replaced with a regular ascii 'o'. If you wanted to see my Python program you can get it here... https://pypi.python.org/pypi/GcpUploader/2014.03.01 My main concern is why am I seeing a difference between Firebug and Wireshark in the file name? Sorry, I forgot to include in my original post... Firefox v28.0 Firebug v1.12.7 OS: Ubuntu 12.04 Thanks, Dave L.
