Re: [Exist-open] Filenames with awkward characters in eXist-db?

[Hungerburg 13 <pc...@my...>]

David, All, One more observation, that might be of interest:

The /locale/ that the exist-db process runs with makes a difference

Here the java code of "awkward.java":

> import java.net.*;
> class awkward {
>   static String str = "tit[ё]tat";
>   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
>     URI uri = new URI("http", "host", "/"+str, null);
>     System.out.println(uri.normalize().toString());
>     System.out.println(uri.normalize().getRawPath());
>   }
> }

Output changes when run in an 8-bit locale:

> $ javac awkward.java
> $
> $ java awkward
> http://host/tit%5Bё%5Dtat
> /tit%5Bё%5Dtat
> $
> $ LANG=C java awkward
> http://host/tit%5B?%5Dtat
> /tit%5B?%5Dtat

There is now the ominous question mark that David sees! I guess it just 
says, that the character cannot be represented in the chosen encoding. 
No exception thrown, impossible to say, where the substitution occurs.
