The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Alfonso Marín Marín <address@concealed>]

Hello,

We have some lists with urlized mode activated for all users and 
authenticated archive access. In this scenario when the file name has 
special characters( ie, accented letters like ó), some versions of IE 
(tested in version 7 and 8) can't access the archive after 
authentication success. This is an example:

- Sympa urlize a file attached a mail, with the name Tablón.pdf
- After clicking the urlized link, the mail client open up the IE 
browser, and Sympa shows the authentication access error.
- After authenticate, the user is redirected to the original URL to 
download the file, but the browser try to download Tabln.pdf, not Tablón.pdf

Others browsers like Firefox, Chrome or even IE 9 works fine.

Checking HTTP headers, I can see that Sympa generates the Location 
header without URL encoding, and I think this is an error, and it would 
be safer if Sympa ensure URL encoding in this header.

I have patched the do_redirect function of wwsympa.fcgi to ensure the 
URL encoding for all redirections (patch attached), and now it works for 
all browsers.

Do you have better solution? Could it be added as official patch?

Thanks in advance.

Alfonso
