Description Satoru SATOH 2008-08-20 05:28:16 UTC
Description of problem:
Any who set web browser's lang to any other than english might not
be able to access luci web interface at all because of the internal
error (the error message on web page is "'charmap' codec can't encode
characters ....").


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
luci-0.12.0-7.el5

How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. set browser lang to any non english 
2. init luci
3. open luci web page with the browser
  
Actual results: internal error


Expected results: the web page is shown correctly


Additional info:
I think that this is because the default encoding specified in /var/lib/luci/etc/zope.conf is not appropriate at all especially for non-english languages, e.g. Japanese.

Here is a configuration change for this issue which works well as far as I tested and think better than current default even for English:

Comment 3 Satoru SATOH 2008-08-25 08:21:59 UTC
I found easier way to reproduce this problem.

 install w3m and run "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 w3m https://cluster-1:8084"
 ('cluster-1' must be replaced with a server name which runs luci).


I'm trying to reproduce with wget also but haven't succeeded yet.

Here is a response header log of another target server (rhel 5.2 ga) taken 
with web developer extension for firefox 3.

Comment 5 Ryan McCabe 2008-08-27 06:49:40 UTC
Thanks for all the info and the patch. I'll apply it to the source tree.

Comment 6 Satoru SATOH 2008-09-01 16:35:54 UTC
thanks!

Please let me know if you need further info.

Comment 7 Satoru SATOH 2008-09-09 03:11:06 UTC
No pressure, but it would be nice to have it soon because this bug may make luci
unusable for anyone use languages which characters cannot be encoded in iso8859-15.

Please let me know if you need further analysis or something.
