Folks,
A client has asked me to support unicode filenames on windows. To
that end
I have constructed an RFC for migration to treating all filesnames in the
GDAL API as utf-8.
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc30_utf8_filenames
I'd appreciate review and comment. If all is well I hope to call for
a vote
on this RFC late this week.
My observation is that I can open data sources with non-ascii filenames
in Linux but not in Windows using the Perl bindings. There's a bug in
the Perl bindings to tell Perl that those same filenames when read back
from GDAL are (I guess) utf-8.
Thus it seems to me that only the VSI windows functions need fixing.
Does Windows use utf-8 for filenames? If so, then fixing the back to
utf-8 bug, would also work for windows, I guess.
