[EP-tech] apostrophe in file names of uploaded/deposited file

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Good afternoon!

 

I’m trying to troubleshoot an issue with exporting out a deposited file that has an apostrophe in the filename.

This is the issue: https://github.com/eprintsug/EPrintsArchivematica/issues/40

 

Does EPrints replace apostrophes in filenames on disk with =0027?

Where in the code does that happen?

The URL of the file has the apostrophe, for example:

https://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/id/eprint/7066/1/Services_techniques_a_l'Universite_Concordia.pdf

But unlike other Unicode characters, the apostrophe doesn’t make it into the file name on disk, and is substituted with =0027.

I’m looking for confirmation that this is how it is “supposed” to work, and for an understanding where this happens in the code, so that I might ultimately know how many OTHER characters are replaced in this way in the filename?
