Take a look at this screenshot: firefox.png That shows a directory with a folder that's not decodable in my utf-8 locale. What's interesting to note is that I actually have two nondecodable folders there but only one of them showed up. So firefox is inconsistent with its treatment, rendering some non-decodable files and ignoring others. Also interesting, if you point your browser at: http://toshio.fedorapeople.org/u/ You should see two other test files. They're both (one-half)(enyei).html but one's encoded in utf-8 and the other in latin-1. Firefox has some bugs in it related to this. For instance, if you mouseover the two links you'll see that firefox displays the same symbolic names for each of the files (even though they're in two different encodings). Sometimes firefox is able to load both files and sometimes it only loads one of them. Firefox seems to be translating the characters from ASCII percent encoding of bytes into their unicode symbols and back to utf-8 in some circumstances related to whether it has the pages in its cache or not. In this case, it should be leaving things as percent encoded bytes as it's the only way that apache is going to know what to retrieve. -Toshio -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
