Uploading file and folder with a non-ascii char in their name about azurestor HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for the report. Just to clarify, are you sure your filenames are UTF-8 and not a Windows charset, eg CP-1252?

Interesting, uploading works as long as you don't specify the destination filename:

r$> bl0 <- hongstor3$get_blob_endpoint()
r$> cont1 <- blob_container(bl0, "cont1")
r$> storage_upload(cont1, "misc/abcdè.xml")
  |===============================================================================| 100%

r$> storage_upload(cont1, "misc/abcdè.xml", "abcdè.xml")
  |===============================================================================| 100%Error in process_storage_response(response, match.arg(http_status_handler),  : 
  Bad Request (HTTP 400). Failed to complete Storage Services operation. Message:
InvalidUri
The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.

So, this is because on Windows, strings are not encoded as UTF-8, but as Latin1 (or whatever the locale-specific codepage is). If you specify a destination filename with a non-ascii char, it gets mangled by URLencode which is called inside call_storage_endpoint:

r$> URLencode("abcdè.xml")
[1] "abcd%E8.xml"

What Azure expects is the UTF8 version, which should be

r$> URLencode(enc2utf8("abcdè.xml"))
[1] "abcd%C3%A8.xml"

The reason it works if you leave the destination out is because then it's generated with basename(src), which always outputs UTF8.

An alternative to URLencode(enc2utf8(*)) is curl::curl_escape(), which always treats strings as UTF8:

r$> curl::curl_escape("abcdè.xml")
[1] "abcd%C3%A8.xml"

Pushed a fix in the non-ascii branch, can you try it and let me know if you run into problems?

Hello Hongooi,

Wonderfull, thanks a lot for your quick reply.
I just downloaded the package on your non-ascii branch and it works !!!

Well done : D

PS : I am sorry to have said that my file paths were in UTF-8 whereas it is another encoding ; I should have said characters with accents
In my case, the following powershell command [System.Text.Encoding]::Default.BodyName outputs iso-8859-1
