[JENKINS-28676] Viewing archived files with UTF8 text shows garbled output

[timja]

Steps to reproduce
1) Run a job that will archive a text file with UTF8 text
2) On the job page under build artifacts view that file

In my case on all major browsers on multiple OS's on different machines I get this when viewing the file through Jenkins:

â ⠓⠑⠊⠣⠞⠀â ⠁⠃⠧⠀â ⠎⠑⠁⠀â ⠇⠑⠧⠑⠇

instead of this (UTF8 braille) when viewing the file directly from the filesystem in a text editor

⠠⠓⠑⠊⠣⠞⠀⠠⠁⠃⠧⠀⠠⠎⠑⠁⠀⠠⠇⠑⠧⠑⠇

jungu:

Hi thelq,
did you resolve this issue?
I find a same issue like this.
Could you provide some solutions?

[timja]

thelq:

I've only found not so great workarounds:

1) Have a build script that cat's the files to the console, which displays correctly in the build's Console Output
2) SSH into the server or mount $JENKINS_HOME and cat /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/myJob/workspace/myFile.txt

[timja]

jungu:

Ok,thank you.
With my issue,the text of archived files and console logs of the job,they are all included some Chinese characters.
And they will display garbled output in jenkins webpage,like below:

groupManagerPage
    �[32m✓ 分组管理名称�[39m
�[32m.�[0m    �[32m✓ #25新增分组(åŒ…å«ç©ºæ ¼çš„å…¨è‹±æ–‡å)�[39m
�[32m.�[0m    �[32m✓ #25新增分组中文+英文+特殊字符�[39m
�[32m.�[0m    �[32m✓ #25不能创建相同分组名�[39m
�[32m.�[0m    �[32m✓ #25组名长度不能超过20�[39m
�[32m.�[0m    �[31m✗ #31改变分组�[39m

After upgrading Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04, Jenkins pages have such characters.

ajaydwarkani:

The fix for this would be set encoding in the response header to the below code when opening a text/log file.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Currently, the request header is 

Content-Type: text/plain

 I currently have a workaround by using requestly chrome plugin
