Redmine

The filesystem repository has some issues regarding special characters in filenames or directory names.
If the name if a file or directory contains a special char (like ü, ö, ä for example), the codepage will get mixed up
and the browser will having trouble displaying it (see attached pictures). If one corrects the codepage manually,
the files in the repo will be displayed correctly, but every other special char (table headers, etc.) will get messed up.

In addition to that, if a directoy contains a special char, it is browseable, but every subdir and file in that directory is not.
That is mainly because every '/' after the special char will be converted to %2F and every special char will be converted to its entity, completely messing the URI up. You will get a 404 (not found) error So, for instance

http://redmine.my.domain/repositories/browse/project/Brücke -> http://redmine.my.domain/repositories/browse/project/Br%FCcke
http://redmine.my.domain/repositories/browse/project/Brücke/übersicht.jpg -> http://redmine.my.domain/repositories/browse/project/Br%FCcke%2F%FCbersicht.jpg

Manually replacing every %2F with / did not help really. You will get the Redmine page, but an error saying that the file does not exist in the repo. Replacing every %-code with its special char will lead to a 500 (internal) error.

Setting the codepages under Administration -> Repositories -> Codepages does not affect this in any way. Tried settings:

• UTF-8, ISO 8859-1, ISO 8859-15, CP1252
• ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, UTF-8, CP1252
• ISO-8859-15, ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, CP1252

Tested under:

• Redmine 0.7.3.devel.2079 (MySQL)
• ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]
• Rails 2.1.0
