Hi folks,
i actually face some strange phenomenon concerning tomcat and URL-encoding of german umlauts. As you may know,
some browsers encode german umlauts for usage in the URL with %xx sequences for proper transportation.
The problem i have now is, that i got a web application which allows the download of PDF-files, which may contain spaces and german umlauts.
If i request a file like that, for instance "Tür Testzwecke.pdf", this request comes to Tomcat as "F%FCr%20Testzwecke.pdf"
Tomcat then decodes the spaces (%20) correctly, but it does not decode the "%FC" and looks for a file "F%fcr Testzwecke.pdf", which of course does not exist and causes a 404 error.
Since the tomcat is a 4.1.29 out-of-the-box install with no customization, i am quite confused about this, since i would expect Tomcat to decode spaces and umlauts correctly.
Did anybody face this problem before or does somebody have a clue about this?
thanks for your help in advance,
Thilo
