Using a nodejs server to load files with Unicode names - node.js

I want to load audio files with names like здраво.mp3, using a NodeJS server. (That's "zdravo" or "hello" in Serbian, if you were wondering).
However, NodeJS makes a request for %D0%B7%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE.mp3 instead, which results in the file not being found.
If I drag the file into a browser window from my desktop, the browser is happy to load it as file///path/здраво.mp3, so the issue is not with the way the browser is treating the Unicode string
The HTML page containing the link to the file has this meta tag in the head section...
<meta charset="utf-8" />
... and it is quite happy to display the text "Здраво" on the page, so the Unicode strings are properly formed within the browser.
I am guessing that the browser is converting the name to ISO-8859-1 before sending the request, and that the NodeJS server somehow needs to convert it back to Unicode before looking for it in the file system.
My question is: is there already a module that I can use to do this conversion, and are there examples of how to use it?
SOLUTION: Following the reply from Edwin Dalorzo, here is the one-line fix that I made to my handleRequest() function:
function handleRequest(request, response) {
request.url = decodeURIComponent(request.url) // the fix
var pathname = url.parse(request.url).pathname

It is not clear how you are receiving the encoded string, but for sure you can decode by simply doing:
decodeURIComponent("%D0%B7%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE")
And this will give you back your string "здраво"

XML data format for a query on Nextcloud OCS

The problem is about getting a direct download link to a Netcloud file.
Documentation :
To obtain a direct link:
POST /ocs/v2.php/apps/dav/api/v1/direct
With the fileId in the body (so fileId=42 for example).
I want to POST this URL with Nodes.js. What is the XML (I guess) format to set "fileId=42" in the body of my request ?
Everything I try returns me
"Invalid query, please check the syntax. API specifications are here:http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services." but noway there to get the format.
Samething with curl, no syntax is working.
In a more generic way what is the XML (I guess) format when querying the OCS API?
I answer my question:
At last I suceeded in making it work with curl, single/double quotes in Windows was the problem, fixed using "{" escape character.
This told me this was not about OCS data format itself as data is to be sent as it, ie "fieldId=42"
Switching from NojesJs/https lib to Axios fixed the problem. Probably some content-type header, however I tried 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' which fits with the data to send.

What base64 format to use for images in opendocument/odt <office:binary-data>, possibly base64ing with nodejs?

I'm attempting to save an image base64'ed with nodejs in a raw format to an ODT file for display in OpenOffice Writer.
The spec was not very clear, but I found an example. However, when I post the following base64'd image (that looks fine in html), I get a "Read-error" in OpenOffice and the image does not display.
The spec says that it uses rfc2045, but that spec is not very specific (unless I'm missing something).
Here's what I have:

That is to say
the encoding cannot be prefixed with data:image/png;base64,
the <draw:image> element cannot have a xlink:href="Pictures/0.png" attributed. Even though the spec says it will be ignored if <office:binary-data> is present. Shrug.

ISO-8859-15 encoding with nodejs

We are experiencing a very anoying encoding problem which started with loopback but seems to be nodejs related.
Basically, we just finished developping an API with Loopback based upon an existing SQL_ASCII encoded postgresql database. Since the API has to be in UTF-8, we try to convert the data sent through our API routes to ISO-8859-15 in order to insert them correctly in our base.
No matter what iconv, utf8, iso-8859 etc. modules we tried, we couldn't get to pass ISO-8859-15 converted strings, we ended up with very strange stuff. For example :
var Iconv = require('iconv').Iconv;
var iconv = new Iconv('UTF-8','ISO-8859-1');
var label = iconv.convert("bébé").toString();
If we insert then the "label" into our database, we end up with someting like that = "b�b�" !
So we just tried to look directly in the Terminal how it behaved with a basic nodejs application (without loopback or any other framework) but it didn't turn out to be better.
Once the Terminal encoding set up to "ISO Latin 1", the following code :
console.log('bébé');
Was displayed this way in the Terminal :
bébé
As if nodejs was completely unable to handle ISO-8859 strings.
Are we missing something there ?
Are we doomed to use UTF-8 string in order to make this work ?

Charset of Lotus Domino Server

I've a Java agent (running on Linux server) that manage document attachments, but something wrong with accented chars in their names (ò,è,ù ecc..).
I wrote this code to display the charset used:
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream());
String enc = writer.getEncoding();
System.out.println("CHARSET: " + enc);
This display
CHARSET: ASCII
In a server where everything works fine, same line print:
CHARSET: UTF8
Servers have same configuration (works with "Internet sites", where "Use UTF-8 for output" is set to "Yes").
Any idea about parameter to set (Domino/Linux)?
UPDATE
I'll try to explain better...
I call an agent through Ajax call.
In parameter, i pass "ààà" string. When i try to decode in UTF-8 inside agent, string is resolved with
"???"
instead of
"ààà"
This is what System.out.println() shows in console.
On another Domino server, everything works. I don't understand if it is a matter of server settings or OS settings.
Just a suggestion, but you could change the first line in your example to be:
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream(),
Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
That will force the OutputStreamWriter to UTF8, and your sample code will show consistent output on both servers. Without knowing more details, I can't say for sure if that's relevant to the real problem.
Although this might not directly answer your question, maybe you might be interessted in this article about encoding.

how to decrypt Dreamweaver site passwords?

When I set a site on the Dreamweaver and configure a server ftp for the site, many times I forgot the passwords so that I want to find a way to recover it.
The Dreamweaver just gives you the option to export the site manager data.
Site=>Manage Sites=>select the site=>export
this will save on your computer a readable xml file with extension .ste
Just open it in word-pad or any other application to read the xml and search for the needed server password and get the value of the attribute pw in the tag server
Then use this javascript function to decrypte the password from this value
function decodeDreamWaverPass(hash){
var pass = '';
for (var i=0 ; i<hash.length ; i+=2){
pass+=String.fromCharCode(parseInt(hash[i]+''+hash[i+1],16)-(i/2));
}
return pass;
}
Hope that it will be helpful for you...
To decode the Dreamweaver password you break the password into pairs of hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) digits then subtract from each hex digit based on it's position in the string, starting with 0, then convert back to ascii.
Example on this stackoverflow post - Encode and decode an Adobe Dreamweaver password in *.ste file
We also have a page on our website you can use to convert the passwords...
http://www.mywebsitespot.com/dreamweaver-password-decode
Sorry to wake up an old thread but thought I'd post my solution. It's a single HTML5 page that can load and parse Dreamweaver STE files, decoding the password as part of that. I wanted something simple, offline/local (so details aren't transmitted when decoding) that I could to just load an STE file in to and it would give me all the FTP details:

Hope it's useful to someone!
