Hi Apache folks,
When I enter
http://x.x.x.x/docs/あいうえお.pdf (x.x.x.x a japanese system) from my firefox browser, I could see that my browser translates the URI resource portion to UTF-8 encoded formated (%E3%81%82%E3%81%84%E3%81%86%E3%81%88%E3%81%8A.pdf) which is as expected.
But although the file is avialable on the specified path, my apache server fails with 404 error. In further analysing the problem, I could see that the problem could be because apache internally translates/maps URI
あいうえお.pdf to
49/%82%a0%82%a2%82%a4%82%a6%82%a8.pdf , which is in shift_JIS format instead & thus failing when the incoming request is UTF-8 encoded resource path. And also, when I enter http://x.x.x.x/docs/49/%82%a0%82%a2%82%a4%82%a6%82%a8.pdf from my browser I could see that the document is getting displayed as expected.
I had tried AddDefaultCharset, AddType, AddCharset derivatives; but nothing worked as expected.
Could you please let me know if there is any means (httpd.conf configuration option) with which apache could handle the UTF-8 encoded resource path as well.
Thanks and regards,
Sathya
