Uploading files with international file names

[Franz]

It seems that the Kendo Upload control has a Problem with international file names. I.e. i select a file with the arbitrary name یاتلبمتیابنیب.docx, and the resulting POST request looks like this:

Headers:
Content-Length: 13439
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------105252201922976
(...)

Content:
-----------------------------105252201922976
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files"; filename="یاتلبمتیابنیب.docx"
Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

(...)

It is clear the the file name is garbled within the Content-Disposition header within the part containing the file.

RFC2388, Section 4.4 specifies:
Forms may request file inputs from the user; the form software may
include the file name and other file attributes, as specified in [RFC
2184].

The original local file name may be supplied as well, either as a
"filename" parameter either of the "content-disposition: form-data"
header or, in the case of multiple files, in a "content-disposition:
file" header of the subpart. The sending application MAY supply a
file name; if the file name of the sender's operating system is not
in US-ASCII, the file name might be approximated, or encoded using
the method of RFC 2231.

This is a convenience for those cases where the files supplied by the
form might contain references to each other, e.g., a TeX file and its
.sty auxiliary style description.

This does not seem to happen here. As a result, kendo Upload's behavior with international filenames seems undefined.

This problem was witnessed with kendo UI Web, v2013.3.1119.

Any known workarounds?

Hello,

Please check that the page encoding is set to UTF-8, as this is what will be used during the file upload.
A meta tag in the head should be sufficient:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

I hope this helps.
