[3.9.23] com_media does not allow opening folders with an accent

[fredo-m]

Hi,

File managers, like JCE's, allow you to create folders with a French accent in its name.

If the folder is created with an accent, com_media will not open the folder. Clicking on the link returns to the root of the folders.

Characters allowed in URLs are limited, I am not sure if its a good practise to allow creating such folders in the media manager. I personally think its wrong and that any other media manager should not allow that. I might be wrong so lets see other opinions.

Actually a URL is not limited but filesystem's are limited and some utf8 features could lead to security problems.

I personally would not create a file for download using utf8 characters on the other side I use utf8 set URLs.

I convert this to a discussion.
