Your patch looks great, but I have one question about unicode(text, 'gbk', 'replace') what exactly gkb mean and what will it replace? I'm afraid if it can break other languages?

[troex]

after your patch I'm unable to create any files utf-8 files/directories, not in Chinese, not in Russian and other non-ASCII languages, I'm using python 2.7 on linux

sorry,my english is not good. i Implementation supports multi-language is based os.listdir method Features, see : http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.listdir "Changed in version 2.3: On Windows NT/2k/XP and Unix, if path is a Unicode object, the result will be a list of Unicode objects. Undecodable filenames will still be returned as string objects."

so i change the _options parms "root" and "URL" to unicode encode:

self._options['URL'] = self.__toUtf8(self._options['URL'])
self._options['root'] = self.__toUtf8(self._options['root'])

but hashlib.md5().update(path) and extract/archive no support unicode string contain chinese character (may be any not ascii character). so i need revert to str，But when my unicode string contain chinese character, i can't use str(my_unicode_string) to revert, so i use __toByteStr method to revert. unicode method and encode method need a encode parm, so i pass 'gbk' (chinese encode).

in line 177:

field = 'targets[]'
if field in httpRequest:
    self._request[field] = httpRequest.getlist(field)

may be only used in Django , Because Django's request object's get method only get last value when the key has more than one value. see : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/request-response/#django.http.QueryDict i'm not test in web2py, may be i need add Inspection like this:

if hasattr(httpRequest, 'getlist'):
    field = 'targets[]'
    if field in httpRequest:
        self._request[field] = httpRequest.getlist(field)

hashlib.md5 unicode test:

import hashlib m = hashlib.md5() m.update('中国') m.update(u'中国') Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: ordinal not in range(128)

About Django targets[]: this should be fixed in connector.py or class, see https://github.com/Studio-42/elfinder-python/commit/0b320fd76da9280806b77a3db4645133456ae241

About unicode patches - I'm not ready to apply, it breaks Russian and other Europe languages. elFinder was designed to work with UTF-8 but not with full support of unicode, sorry.

But on my UTF-8 linux system I have no problem working with CJK, thought I do not know if it will work with GB2312 or GB18030
