File UPLOADS with Umlauts fail - no data in HTTP request

Code: Select all

1. Rename a file to a name containing (german) Umlauts
 2. Try to upload the file somewhere through a normal html upload form
 3. The uploaded file will be empty

Code: Select all

This is an excerpt of a CORRECT upload http stream, test-uploading a file with a normal name using a standard html web form:

....<snip>....
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="abspath"

C:\temp\__uptest

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="cmd"

put

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="binaryFileContent"; filename="07 Kochbuch Web Services 0000100.pdf"
Content-Type: application/pdf

 This is the SAME http upload, test-uploading with a file containing Umlauts in the filename:

...<snip>....
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="abspath"

C:\temp\__uptest

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="cmd"

put
------------lKKQw6GtJlkp9N17fj5OXw
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="binaryFileContent"; filename="ääääPraeventionsleistungen.pdf"
Content-Type: application/pdf


------------lKKQw6GtJlkp9N17fj5OXw--
<END>

As you can see, between the lines

Content-Type: application/pdf

and

------------lKKQw6GtJlkp9N17fj5OXw--

there is no binary data as would be expected to be present for an HTTP upload. The server accepting the upload will thus generate a file with exactly zero bytes. I rechecked this with other browsers and they fill the binary part correctly, regardless of the filename.
