REST Api Parser does not find a file if there is an accent in its name

[Bouhmarc]

Hi

I used the parse api with this encoding :
http://192.168.0.18:9090/services/rest/parser?path=%2Fusr%2Fshare%2FDocuments%2F2016%2FPr%C3%AAtAltea.pdf

My file has an accent in its name.
I receive an error from the parser which is :
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/Documents/2016/PrêtAltea.pdf (No such file or directory) - /usr/share/Documents/2016/PrêtAltea.pdf (No such file or directory) - com.jaeksoft.searchlib.webservice.parser.ParserImpl.putMagic(ParserImpl.java:203)

if i delete the accented character from the name, it works.
Is there any option to activate or is it a bug ?

thanks

Marc

Hi everybody,

I answer to myself,
The only thing to do, is to select the right language in start.sh script

Instead of en_US.UTF_8, i put fr_FR.UTF_8, so accents will exists in the charset.

Maybe there is a more "reliable" solution instead of hardcode a language..
But that worked for me...

Thanks

Hi Marc,

First, thanks for the workaround.

I've read some interesting Q&A issues:

I think that one interesting suggestion would be to move to java.nio. I currently investigate this issue.
