[etoys-dev] Encoding for uploading projects

[Bert Freudenberg]

I don't know, that's why I was asking Yoshiki.

Do you use the filename as transmitted by webdav, or do you extract it  
from the .pr itself? I'd have assumed it comes from webdav, and if so,  
we must make sure Etoys is actually transmitting the right information.
