I seem to have a problem about URL encoding.. You see my users are allowed to upload files and until now there has been no problem with uploading and downloading them..
When the file name has sort of a special character in IE it says the that file cannot be found, while in Mozilla, it doesn't have a problem.. what could be the possible solution for this..?
thanks!
This is basic HTML stuff, you might want to check out some tutorials. URL encoding is not a page/file encoding like UTF-8. URL encoding is used to ensure that special characters like spaces, punctuation marks, etc. are not interpreted as URL control characters but as part of a filename or request parameter. A better name for it would be URL escaping, but I'm not in charge of naming things, so there you are. The Java platform provides the java.net.URLEncoder class to do this encoding.
ok so I was able to solve the problem.. the next problem is a bit more confusing..
somehow I am able to upload and download the "Brude - VISA, Gassm錶ing.ppt" file perfectly but when I tried it on "Astr錸omy.doc" file or the "astro錮d.ptt" file it won't work..
i've racked the internet for answers but I can't seem to find any..
