You are absolutely right: the file name in the browser bar changes when you choose save. Here you can see them both together in one screenshot:

Presumably that character is the cause of the problem.
so the mystery is … how does that happen? is it to do with our browsers? our OS system?

Re: uploading images with special characters not working?
We sanitize/dumb down filenames to prevent any encoding issues with non-standard characters. Perhaps we’re sanitizing using different rules in different places instead of unifying them?

how is
D_Italia
changed toD'Italia
?? and this is the file that TxP fails to upload although SFTP has no issues.
mystery.
The explanation probably comes from this response header:
content-disposition: inline; filename="Giro_D'Italia_Poster_1920x1080.jpeg"

Because I have copied it from the textiled output.
Ok then, maybe my bad for going on the wrong track
Ok, from few tests it looks like
- uploading works fine
- numeric txp image URLs are fine too
- textile borkes
But txp itself does not store images under their original names, replacing them with a number. So this looks like a pure Textile problem.
Uploading works fine on localhost here. But on two different live hosts (Linux/Apache + UbuntuOS / PHP 8 on one, CentOS / PHP 8.1 on the other one) this fails silently, in both cases with the same 500 Internal Server Error
message in the console. URL encoding the one troublesome character works fine though.
Of course once you manage to upload the image, from the Textpattern side everything is OK – it uses the ID as a reference everywhere.
The upload issue might be some mod_security
setting.
PS – in raw HTML (<img />
, etc) it can be a proble, depending on the style of quotes around attributes.

Re: uploading images with special characters not working?
thanks all for your input and help with this issue. It might be best going forth to remove all funny characters from file names.

Yeah… particularly such “special” characters as the humble '
that can cause havoc for various reasons.

Good to know, thanks. AFAIK, there was no change in image names filtering since a while, dunno why this problem rises only now. Could be tricky to fix, since this seems to happen outside txp.

’cause no one tried to upload a file with a '
in the filename before ? :-)

Is there anything to fix? I think the rejection by the server happens too fast anyway, if it is what I think it is. I’ll try to remember to ask the server people what the reason might be.

Re: uploading images with special characters not working?
So in the interest of scientific enquiry today I decided to upload that pesky file using my Expression Engine website’s file upload module. … which produced an explosion and caused this error:
Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at [no address given] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Apache Server at ponzanoveneto.com Port 80
of course i tried a simple file name next —- image.png — and no issues. Could this be an Apache server glitch? who knew a little old '
could be so dangerous!!

We could try to sanitize filenames via Javascript on submit, but I have no idea whether it would work.
