Covers not displayed when path contains UTF-8 accentuated characters

[SR-G]

Picture is not displayed ("broken image"). If i copy/paste the direct link address (for example : http://192.168.1.4:8000/covers/Hom%C3%A8re-Liliade_et_lodyss%C3%A9e_illustr%C3%A9s.jpg )

Here is the error i get : 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe8' in position 63: ordinal not in range(128)

Seems to be on the django-side.

Environment:

Request URL: http://192.168.1.4:8000/covers/Hom%C3%A8re-Liliade_et_lodyss%C3%A9e_illustr%C3%A9s.jpg

Ok, i think you can forget about that one : my /etc/init.d/pathagar script hadn't those two lines :

export LANG='fr_FR.UTF-8'
export LC_ALL='fr_FR.UTF-8'

Once added, images with accentuated characters are now correctly displayed.

This should be closed. According to the bug reporter: exporting correct LANG's in the /etc/init.d/pathagar fixes the issue.

This should be documented then closed
