Converting these UTF-8 >> encoded file names into Perl's internal format resolves these errors. Could you give us an example? What is important is whether filename is passed via path_info or via query string. Because in evaluate_uri() there is our $path_info = decode_utf8($ENV{"PATH_INFO"}); and in evaluate_query_params() there is $input_params{$name} = decode_utf8($cgi->param($symbol)); >> Signed-off-by: Michael Wagner <accounts@xxxxxxxxxxx> >> --- > > Cc'ing Jakub, who have been the area maintainer, for comments. > > One thing I wonder is that, if there are some additional calls to > encode() necessary before we embed $file_name (which are now decoded > to the internal string form, not a byte-sequence that happens to be > in utf-8) in the generated pages, if we were to do this change. There should be no problem with output encoding. esc_path(), which should be used for filenames, includes to_utf8, which in turn uses decode($fallback_encoding, $str, Encode::FB_DEFAULT); >> gitweb/gitweb.perl | 2 +- >> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl >> index a9f57d6..6046977 100755 >> --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl >> +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl >> @@ -1056,7 +1056,7 @@ sub evaluate_and_validate_params { >> } >> } >> >> - our $file_name = $input_params{'file_name'}; >> + our $file_name = decode("utf-8", $input_params{'file_name'}); >> if (defined $file_name) { >> if (!is_valid_pathname($file_name)) { >> die_error(400, "Invalid file parameter"); Hmm... all %input_params should have been properly decoded already, how it was missed? Also, branchname (hash_base etc.), search query, filename in file_parent, project name can be UTF-8 too, so it is at best partial fix. -- Jakub Narębski -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
