Dear Mark,

Thanks for your reply. I've commented below.

The good news is that this works for me. Now all we need to do is
figure out why it doesn't for you ;)

Yay :-)

Directory listings worked for UTF-8 files out of the box for me
although I got a 503 rather than a 404 trying to access the files.

Once I set URIEncoding="UTF-8" in the connector, I could access the
files without any problems. I haven't tested 5.0.x.

With URIEncoding="UTF-8" everything worked in both Windows and Linux.

Here, things work in my custom JSP pages when focusing on GETs in
forms. But the mechanics behind directory listings and direct file
requests seems to disregard my attempts to commandeer Tomcat in the
direction of UTF-8.

OK. This is the first thing to fix. get this working and then worry
about accessing the file.

OK.

Which versions? Looking at the svn history for the default servlet it
looks like the fix for 40901 had some positive unintended
consequences. This fix is in 5.5.21 onwards.

I'm trying with Tomcat 5.0.30 (standard in this Suse version) and
5.5.20. I'll have to try with the 5.5.21.

You'll need this once directory listings are working.

Hopefully an upgrade to 5.5.21 will fix this.

OK - I'll have a look at it. :-)
