doc/bugs/Pages_with_non-ascii_characters_like_Ã¶Ã¤Ã¥_in_name_not_found_directly_after_commit.mdwn

   1 At least my setup on kapsi.fi always prints 404 Not Found after adding a page with non-ascii characters in name. But the page exists and is visible after the 404 with url encoding and the blog page is inlined correctly on the feed page.
   2
   3 Apparently ikiwiki.info does not complain with 404. Should the character encoding be set in wiki config?
   4
   5 Happens also after editing the page. Here's an example:
   6
   7  * page name displayed in 404: http://mcfrisk.kapsi.fi/skiing/posts/Iso-Sy%F6te%20Freeride%202011%20Teaser.html?updated
   8  * page name in the blog feed: http://mcfrisk.kapsi.fi/skiing/posts/Iso-Sy%C3%B6te%20Freeride%202011%20Teaser.html
   9
  10 Difference is in the word Iso-Syöte. Pehaps also the browsers is part of
  11 the game, I use Iceweasel from Debian unstable with default settings.

  23 Server runs Debian 5.0.8 but I don't have access to the Apache configs. Here's the tcp stream from wireshark without cookie data, page name is testiä.html. I guess page name is in utf-8 but in redirect after post it is given to browser with 8859-1.
