mod_encoding - Apache module for non-ascii filename interoperability This module improves non-ascii filename interoperability of apache (and mod_dav). It seems many WebDAV clients send filename in its platform-local encoding. But since mod_dav expects everything, even HTTP request line, to be in UTF-8, this causes an interoperability problem. Note by maintainer: this port also solves the annoying form of authentication that Windows machines do against a DAV enabled server: "hostname\\username" instaed of the standard "username"

mod_encoding - Apache module for non-ascii filename interoperability
|
|
|
|
This module improves non-ascii filename interoperability of apache
|
|
(and mod_dav).
|
|
|
|
It seems many WebDAV clients send filename in its platform-local
|
|
encoding. But since mod_dav expects everything, even HTTP request
|
|
line, to be in UTF-8, this causes an interoperability problem.
|
|
|
|
I believe this is a future issue for specification (RFC?) to
|
|
standardize encoding used in HTTP request-line and HTTP header, but
|
|
life would be much easier if mod_dav (and others) can handle various
|
|
encodings sent by clients, TODAY. This module does just that.
|
|
|
|
This module adds following directives: EncodingEngine, SetServerEncoding,
|
|
AddClientEncoding, DefaultClientEncoding, and NormalizeUsername.
|
|
|
|
Note by maintainer:
|
|
It also solves the problem with the "hostname\\username"
|
|
way of authentication that Windows machines do when they
|
|
attach to a DAV server. See the use of the NormalizeUsername
|
|
directive.
