Hi,
I am having problems with Tomcat's Directory Listing when files under
that Directory contain non-English characters. I get 404 errors.
I've read the Tomcat documentation, FAQ, etc, and searched the web for a
solution. There is no mention of this problem anywhere.
Here's the exact problem description:
I exposed a specific directory on my disk for publishing to the web
through my Tomcat HTTP 5.5.9 server. For simplicity, let us say I've
inserted the following Context in my server.xml:
<Context path="/music"
docBase="c:\my_cds\music\"
trusted="false"
crossContext="true"
debug="1"
reloadable="true">
</Context>
When I use IE to browse to my http://foobar.org/music/ URL (foobar is
fictitious here), the Directory Listing produced by Tomcat displays
properly. I can click on any filename listed, and if the file's name is
all in English characters then it downloads properly to the client machine.
However, if I click on a file that contains foreign characters, such as
the ç in filename "Claude François - Quelquefois.mp3", the link does not
function. Specifically, the link produced by Tomcat is:
http://foobar.org/music/Claude%20Fran%C3%A7ois%20-%20Quelquefois.mp3
but unfortunately clicking on it produces a 404 error.
The problem in this example is surely with the %C3%A7 which is a
substitute for 'ç' because if I rename the file on disk to say Francois
(with a plain 'c') and refresh the page in IE, the file becomes accessible.
Note: With the file name containing the word "François", even if I
manually edit the URL in the address bar and replace the %C3%A7 with ç
it still doesn't work.
How can I make Tomcat properly handle such file names? -- OR -- Is this
a bug in Tomcat?
Thanks.
