Hello,
I'm replying to this old thread because I believe that my question/commentary
fit here better than in any other thread regarding this subject.
I'm using BackupPC to backup among others a samba file server that uses a
ISO8859-1 charset. To get the characters displayed correctly in the command
line I have to set BackupPC's ClientCharset to ISO-8859-1. That's fine. But
when I try to download a file to a Ubuntu/Windows desktop I've got encoding
problems.
Using the option "-e UTF8" with BackupPC_zipCreate" in the command line works.
But to get it working from the CGI interface I had to "hard coded" it in
lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm :
------------------------------------------
$bpc->cmdSystemOrEvalLong(["$BinDir/BackupPC_zipCreate",
"-h", $host,
"-n", $num,
"-c", $In{compressLevel},
"-s", $share,
@pathOpts,
@fileList, # add the ,
"-e UTF8" # HERE
],
sub { print(@_); },
-------------------------------------------
I'm sure this is not the best way to do it but I haven't had success with any
other try I did. Does anybody known a better way to do that ?
Thank you,
