Url and File Encoding

I have the following scenario:
I have a directory which has directory names and filenames encoded in what I believe is utf-8 (the content is html). The files are derivates of DMOZ/World so they are in various languages. I can see accent marks and cryllic/greek, etc in the windows file explorer.
I need to zip this directory up (using java) and then upload it to a server and then unzip it using php. I am uncertain what encoding the server is using.
Do I UTF-8 Urlencode the file names and file paths and then zip and upload?
If so then do I need to also urlencode the links within the html?
thanks

It's not a bug, it's a lack of a feature.
The design of the Zip format requires a filename to be stored as bytes in the archive, but doesn't specify what encoding should be used to do that. Back in the days when the format was invented, that didn't matter because you could only use ASCII characters in filenames anyway.
Then when Unicode started infiltrating file systems, there was nobody powerful enough to fix the format by specifying an encoding, and the big players in the archiving field didn't care because the way they did it was de facto correct anyway as far as they were concerned.
I don't know how Microsoft and WinZip encode their filenames these days, but at any rate Java's zip classes don't even provide the option to specify an encoding. I am pretty sure that several bug reports have been filed in regard to this missing feature but I don't believe anything has been done yet.

  • Character Encoding and File Encoding issue

    Hi,
    I have a file which has a data encoded using default locale.
    I start jvm in same default locale and try to red the file.
    I took 2 approaches :
    1. Read the file using InputStreamReader() without specifying the encoding, so that default one based on locale will be picked up.
    -- This apprach worked fine.
    -- I also printed system property "file.encoding" which matched with current locales encoding (on unix cooand to get this is "locale charmap").
    2. In this approach, I read the file using InputStream as an array of raw bytes, and passed it to String contructor to convert bytes to String.
    -- The String contained garbled data, meaning encoding failed.
    I tried printing encoding used by JVM using internal class, and "file.encoding" property as well.
    These 2 values do not match, there is weird difference.
    For e.g. for locale ja_JP.eucjp on linux box :
    byte-character uses EUC_JP_LINUX encoding
    file.encoding system property is EUC-JP-LINUX
    To get byte to character encoding, I used following methods (sun.io.*):
    ByteToCharConverter btc = ByteToCharConverter.getDefault();
    System.out.println("BTC uses " + btc.getCharacterEncoding());
    Do you have any idea why is it failing ?
    My understanding was, file encoding and character encoding should always be same by default.
    But, because of this behaviour, I am little perplexed.

    But there's no character encoding set for this operation:baos.write("���".getBytes());

  • PayloadZipBean and  file encoding ISO-8859-1

    Hi,
    I'm a scenario with a receiver file zipped in target side.
    I've tryed with
    Message protocol --> FILE
    Transfer mode --> binary
    File type --> TEXT
    FILE encoding --> ISO-8859-1
    and with StrictXml2PlainBean and  target file is correct.
    But when i add PayloadZipBean, then target file seems to be incorrect. When i try to unzip it, becames an error because of the zip file  seems to be created or transferred without the  appropriate BINARY mode .
    If I change file type to Binary, then zip file is correctly created, but  spanish characters are not correctly inserted when I unzip the file.
    How to solve this?
    Thanks, in advance,
    Carme

    This is a little bit tricky.
    check this blog:
    /people/stefan.grube/blog/2007/02/20/working-with-the-payloadzipbean-module-of-the-xi-adapter-framework
    You need two modules just for changing the encoding.

  • How does JVM set file.encoding system property?

    The system property file.encoding is changed mysteriously, and we don't have a command line -D option. How does JRockit JVM get the default value for system properties such as file.encoding?
    I am running Jrockit 1.4.2_12.
    Thanks.

    I am running WLS 8.1SP6 on Linux using Jrockit 1.4.2-12. Over the weekend, I bounced WL server, and file.encoding was changed. It used to be ISO-8859-1. Now it is ANSI_X3.4-1968. Neither System Administrator nor WebLogic (farm) Administrator changed anything. Although I can force it with -D, I'd like to figure out what happened.
    Thanks.

  • Region type URL  and character set encoding

    I'd like to include static html page using URL region, but there is some translation done between encoding of input static html page and output of HTML DB. Does anyone know how the file encoding is translateded when the page is rendered?
    I have tried some encodings of input file (CP1250, UTF-8, Unicode) but it did not work.

  • Read file from URL and save to FTP

    Hi,
    I have worked in java few years back, now I am out of touch. My friend asked me to create an applet program for him which he can use to download a file from remote location to his ftp server.
    For e.g.
    File
    http://www.demo.com/filename.avi
    Saved to
    ftp://username:password@ftpsite_address/foldername
    I was searching for the classes which I can use to achieve this functionality.
    To save to FTP
    URL url = new URL("ftp://username:[email protected]/folder/filename");
    URLConnection urlconnection = url.openConnection();
    long l = urlconnection.getContentLength();
    OutputStream outputstream = null;
    outputstream = urlconnection.getOutputStream();Using the above code I can get the outputstream to which I can write.
    I am now stuck here, have some doubts.
    What all classes should I use to read a file like
    http://www.demo.com/filename.avi
    I know I can use URL to open connection to URLS and then streams to read the url.
    I am interested in knowing the class which I should use to read any type of file. File can be zip/avi/rar or anything else.
    What all method of the class should I use to read the file which will support all type of files.
    Which classes should I use to write the files. The files are going to be huge in terms of size.
    I have searched everywhere but every place different classes are used.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Ok now I have started coding but facing a problem.

    What should I do to resolve this error. Sorry for being such a noob but do not have much info about this.

  • How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

    How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
    Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh  f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
    Thank you!

    Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
    Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

  • Problems with encoding and files

    Hi friends pls some help my problems is the following
    I have a ftp server running on linux and in my program I download files from the ftp server using class specified below.When I download the file content not all content is coming ok. For example I have a string with
    Ra�l����1234%#=?[a_@ and when I read content using my methods this part is retirved ok Ra and this one is retrived wrong �����
    whith characteres very stranges.
    I suppose that the problem is with the encoding, then all day I tried some settings in the class new InputStreamReader.First the encoding UTF-8 because I have created the file using this encoding. Something like this:
    in = new InputStreamReader(new GZIPInputStream(localFtp.get(serverFile)),"UTF-8");
    but does not work
    After I realized that I use the statement localFtp.ascii();
    declaring that the content will be downloaded in ascii encoding so
    I made this change :
    in = new InputStreamReader(new GZIPInputStream(localFtp.get(serverFile)),"US-ASCII");
    but still does not work

  • Jinitiator 1.3.1.2.6 on win 7 64 and win xp (different file.encoding)

    Hello,
    our customer has moved from windows XP to Windows 7 and he uses Jinitiator 1.3.1.2.6...
    In some "Forms" I have implemented a PJC to save datas from clob to local file system..
    But there is a problem....
    If I run the same application with Windows XP I get file.encoding=Cp1250 which is ok....
    If I run the same application with Windows 7 (64) I get file.encoding=CP1252 and here is the problem...
    Is there any way to run Jinitiator (or set up file.encoding to/with) Cp1250?
    Maybe is this a local problem with windows?
    thank you..

    First, I will start by saying that JInitiator was not intended to run on Win7, especially 64bit. So, it may be time to think about moving to the Java Plugin. Preferably one which is certified with your Forms version.
    To your issue, I suspect you need to change the "Region and Language" settings on the client machine. This can be found on the Control Panel. If that doesn't help, take a look at this:

  • Premier Pro CC and Media Encoder crashing on long file export.

    Please forgive the length of this inquiry. But it is complicated and has a lot of variables.
    I have an hour long mixed format timeline both Red 3K footage and Black Magic ProRes 1080P footage that I want to make a DVD from and it takes forever and crashes half way through. I have tried doing it every way possible and the only way I was able to get even a partial export was using the "MPEG 2 DVD" export option in Premier CC. It goes fast at first telling me it will take about 2 hours but even though it starts quickly doing about 15 fps it slows down to less than 1 fps and finally just stops and crashes my Cuda Core enabled Macbook Pro Laptop.
    I really don't know who to ask about this since there are so many different variables. I never had a problem like this on my MBP with PP6 on a 4K timeline exporting to DVD or Blue Ray or to H-264 or Even Prores. But I wasn't mixing formats either. But on this project the first 20-30 minutes of footage goes through fine in a couple of hours but something seems to be bogging down the system on longer projects. My work around was to break the project up into multiple exports and combining them on the DVD timeline but I can't do this on every project. I thought maybe it was a corrupted clip somewhere in the timeline but when I broke the timeline up into several parts I had no problems.
    I did notice a dramatic variance in the time it took to export footage based on the sequence settings. A one minute timeline comprised Red 3K footage and ProRes 1080P footage Here are some sample export results:
    From a Red raw 3K timeline 2880x1620  with 1080P Prores footage upscaled 150%)
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format    1:48 Minutes ***
    to .mov  Prores 422HQ  1080P                         22 Minutes
    to .mov H.264  1080P                    22 Minutes
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                22 Minutes
    From a 1080P timeline Prores footage at 100%  (Red footage downscaled to 67%)
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format                         13 Minutes
    to .mov  Prores 422HQ 1080P                             13 Minutes
    to .mov H.264  1080P                                                             14 Minutes
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                            14 Minutes
    Since I am going to DVD,  I chose the fastest option  Red to m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format which only took 1:48 per minute. Why? I have no idea. Maybe someone here knows the answer. But again these numbers are for a ONE MINUTE clip when I tried to convert the whole hour timeline to  the 720x480.m2v DVD File the Red timeline froze my computer after several hours even though I had set sleep mode to “Never” and turned the display off manually and I had to convert it in multiple chunks. In 20-30 minute chunks it did go fast about 1:48 per minute like the test indicated. But I would like to be able to convert the whole hour and not to have to try to stitch the clips together in my DVD authoring program.
    I don’t want to have to avoid using multiple formats on the same timeline or waste time transcoding everything to the same format.
    Can anyone give me any suggestions as to why the computer is crashing or bogging down in long exports and what timeline settings I should be using?
    I have plenty of room on my Scratch Disk and 8 Gig of RAM and according to my Activity Monitor during the export process  have about 800 Meg of System Memory during export but the CPU Usage is 98% and in my Activity Monitor I see under “Process Name” ImporterRedServer flashing up at the top of the list about every second during export.
    Why .720x480 mpeg DVD setting is so much faster than all the other export codecs?
    And if there are any other settings I can use to get higher speed exports in HD? 14x1 seems a little slow especially since every time it crashes I have to start over.

    Hi,
    Since a long time I did not encounter the crash of Media encoder with
    long file export.
    But I take care of a lot of details before the export :
    - clean up Media cache and Media Cache Files within PP CS6 and/or CC,
    - delete all render files with Preview Files,
    - rendering of sequences until the rendering is completed,
    - PP CS6 and/or Pp CC opened during export to AME and/or Encore CS6,
    I guessed to leave Adobe but this company remains the last with a
    serious authoring software (Encore CS 6).
    I tested :
    - Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, both are very good software but
    no really authoring software for these video editing softs.
    Th only way is to "flood" Adobe with "bug reports" and "wish forms"
    which are not very easy to use.
    And also to call the Adobe support day by day until they send they
    escalate the bug.

  • Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format.

    This is on a Windows 8.1 PC.
    The edit exported fine until I made one big mistake.
    I created a Nested Edit to make a quick alteration.
    Since then the following is now the case and I cannot go back to an earlier edit to fix this.
    Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format. Using either the Export Option or Media Encoder.  Get a dialog that says "Unknown Error Compiling Movie"
    There is nothing wrong with my footage.  This edit worked fine and I export through Media Encoder many times until I made a Nested Edit within the Premiere Project.
    I have tried all sorts of searches on the net for a fix to this but nothing seems to be current or indeed works.
    Any help would be appreciated as this is a show stopper.

    Thanks for the reply Mark, appreciated.
    I have found a work around but it still leaves a long term issue for Adobe to fix.
    As to your first solution:
    1).  The nested edit is already in its own timeline panel.  It will not export or encode via media encoder.  This is the problem.
    2).  I will try the KEM roll feature but I have a work around see following.
    3).  No I do not have a nested edit within a nested edit.
    I did a lot of research on the net on this issue as it happened to a colleague of mine on his machine about two weeks ago.  It took me six hours to get a fix and in his case there were six video clip that had read errors.  When I overwrote those clips from the original backup master it fixed the problem.  However I was never able to use Media Encoder again to export his project without it failing.  I could only use the Export feature.  Again he had used a nested edit in his project.
    I my case I do not have any nested edits within a nested edit.  All I did was drag my main edit onto the New Sequence icon at the bottom of the Project Bin.  This of course created a nested edit in a new Timeline Panel which is what I wanted.  I then slid the entire nested edit to the right in the timeline by two seconds as all a wanted to do was add two seconds of black at the head of the edit.  That was it.  From that point of creating the nested edit Media Encoder and the Export option failed every time with the fore mentioned error.
    The final work around was one of those I found previous mention of during my research.  I created a new clean Premiere Pro CC 2014 project, I then used the import option under the file menu.  I imported only the original main edit which brought in that edit along with all the required footage.  This would then export to disk using the Export feature.  However, Media Encoder will still not encode this new edit, it fails the same way every time, 'Unknown Error Compiling Movie'.
    As a test I loaded the old corrupt edit project back up and deleted the nested edit sequence completely and re-saved it.  This had no effect and did not fix the problem.  This particular project file will no longer export directly or via media encoder at all no matter what I do.
    This seems pretty serious to me.  I worked on this edit for a whole month without issue, encoding out roughs as a went without any issue, it was only yesterday after I made the nested edit that the project file is now useless as it will not encode out at all.  Yes I have a work around and was able to salvage my project and get it rendered in time for my deadline but the fact I have a partially working Project that Media Encoder will not touch does not instill me with confidence for long term use of Premiere Pro if this is going to happen again.
    Is there some place I can send this project file to Adobe to see if they can find out what is wrong with it?  I am not the only person having this issue I have seen other post going all the way back through CS6 it seems.

  • Premiere and Media Encoder Crashing During Export of Quicktime Files

    Premiere CC and Media Encoder CC crashes when exporting Quicktime H.264 files. Sometimes the export will work, sometimes it crashes the app. After crashing, the app will freeze while loading "ExporterQuictimeHost.bundle" and requires a hard re-boot of the system to startup again.
    I have tried removing some Quicktime codecs from the Quicktime library folder, as suggested in other threads. This has not solved the problem.
    I am editing with Quicktime ProRes 4444 files.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Here's some system info:
    Mac Pro Mid 2010
    OS X 10.9.4
    2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    36 GB Memory
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 1536MB
    Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme
    Cuda Driver Version 6.5.14
    Creative Cloud CC 2014

    I'm having similar problems. I can't export anything now...either from Premiere or from Media Encoder. My sequence is ProRes HQ, I am exporting using sequence settings.
    It gets about 75% of the way through and bails with this error message:
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    That's really helpful. Addtionally, when I tried to export out of Media Encoder, I was greeted by an extremely loud bleating goat noise when it failed. Nice. I had a room full of clients. Thanks Adobe.
    I'm seriously doubting the claim of "Pro" at this point.
    This was not beta tested with a ****.

  • Why are url and email addresses not fully viewable in a PDF when generated from a Word file?

    I have a question?
    A colleague in our Copenhagen office wanted to generate a pdf from a Word file.  She is working on a Windows 2007 operating system and is running Acrobat Pro 9.  When she generated the PDF only part of a url and an email address was visible when the PDF was viewed.  She was wofking from Standard settings.  I am running the same software on the same Windows platform and using the same computer equipment with the same settings yet I was able to generate a PDF where the full url and email address was visible.
    Can anyone out in Adobe Acrobat land provide me with an answer?
    Patrick Lennon

    That's probably because the Mac people are opening or viewing the PDFs within the Mac's "Mail" program or with the "Preview" program and not with Acrobat.
    Since the Windows people aren't using these programs and most likely just Acrobat or Adobe Reader, the layers are kept hidden.
    I'm afraid the only way to truly keep those layers hidden is to delete them before saving your file as a PDF. (Of course, do a "Save As" and keep your original .ai file intact.

  • XI File Adapter Custom File Encoding for  issues between SJIS and CP932

    Dear SAP Forum,
    Has anybody found a solution for the difference between the JVM (IANA) SJIS and MS SJIS implementation ?
    When users enter characters in SAPGUI, the MS SJIS implementation is used, but when the XI file adapter writes SJIS, the JVM SJIS implementation is used, which causes issues for 7 characters:
    1. FULLWIDTH TILDE/EFBD9E                 8160     ～     〜     
    2. PARALLEL TO/E288A5                          8161     ∥     ‖     
    3. FULLWIDTH HYPHEN-MINUS/EFBC8D     817C     －     −     
    4. FULLWIDTH CENT SIGN/EFBFA0             8191     ￠     \u00A2     
    5. FULLWIDTH POUND SIGN/EFBFA1            8192     ￡     \u00A3     
    6. FULLWIDTH NOT SIGN/EFBFA2              81CA     ￢     \u00AC     
    7. REVERSE SOLIDUS                             815F     ＼     \u005C
    The following line of code can solve the problem (either in an individual mapping or in a module)
    String sOUT = myString.replace(\u0027～\u0027,\u0027〜\u0027).replace(\u0027∥\u0027,\u0027‖\u0027).replace(\u0027－\u0027,\u0027−\u0027).replace(\u0027￠\u0027,\u0027\u00A2\u0027).replace(\u0027￡\u0027,\u0027\u00A3\u0027).replace(\u0027￢\u0027,\u0027\u00AC\u0027);
    But I would prefer to add a custome Character set to the file encoding. Has anybody tried this ?

  • Open a url and view the files with it's timestamp

    Hi guys,
    I need to create a flow service in SAP BC to connect to a server by it's url and display it's files with it's timestamps.
    I have never done this b4, and usinf SAP BC makes it harder for me.. Mostly I need to know how to access the server and view the files with their timestamp.
    Any guidance for me will be much appreciated.
    Thank u.

    Yes,
    It's like this. I will connect to an FTP server. Then I need to view the files it the server or folder i specify with their respective timestamps.
    I am using SAP BC and it's webMethods to create the JAVA flow service. I am only now familiarising myself with SAP BC.
    Moreover I have never done a coding to access a server and list it's file. I can do it o view in a local directory using JFrame aand stuff... But SAP BC doesn't support those..
    So If u can give me some guidelines to follow.. i would appreciate it.
    Here's what i have come up with so far
    public static final void ReadFileServer( IData pipeline ) throws ServiceException
    //define input variables
         IDataCursor idcPipeline = pipeline.getCursor();
         String path = null;
         path = (String)idcPipeline.getValue();
         // Check if url is in the pipeline
         if (idcPipeline.first("path"))
              File dir = new File(path);
              String filesFound[]=dir.list();
              long [] age;
              age = new long[filesFound.length];
              for (int i = 0; i < filesFound.length; i++)
                   age = new File(filesFound).lastModified();
              String temp = "";
              for (int i = 0; i < age.length - 1; i++)
                   for(int k = i+1; k < age.length ; k++)
                        if (age > age [k])
                        temp = filesFound;
                        filesFound = filesFound[k];
                        filesFound[k] = temp;
              for (int i = 0; i < filesFound.length; i++)
              //get url out of the pipeline
              path = (String)idcPipeline.getValue();
              //insert the FILES into the pipeline
              idcPipeline.insertAfter("filesFound", filesFound);
              idcPipeline.insertAfter("age", age);
         //If it is not in the pipeline ERROR
         else
         age = "False";
         idcPipeline.insertAfter("path", path);
         //insert the successFlag into the pipeline
         idcPipeline.insertAfter("age", age);
         //Always destroy cursors that you created
         idcPipeline.destroy();
    return;
    }
