Comment (by eblot):
[http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1867.html RFC1867] which documents file
upload from an HTML form is not really clear about how to deal with
filenames. Non-ASCII chars should be encoded, but the '`/`' and the '`:`'
chars are pure ASCII. I did not manage to find references about this MacOS
specific issue.
However, I don't think the server can store a file with a filename that
contains '`/`' characters, as I don't see how a non-Macintosh computer
could deal with such a pathname at download time.
The best option to preserve the client platform interoperability for now
would be to follow the RFC1867 proposal for non-ASCII filenames: "the file
name might be approximated".
'`/`' and '`:`' could be replaced with a OS neutral character such as the
underscore.
