I have a server in python 'simpleHTTP' running on my machine. He works as he should but there is a problem with the client side.
An error is raised when you try to read a directory that has an accent in its name.
This has happened to me now because I have always used the English language in my machines ... Because I made a new installation based on Arch Linux and this corrected the language based on the time zone this is the error that arose now .
A normal folder in English would be: Videos
But already in the Spanish / Latin language it would be: Videos
This is an example of what the client receives with:
WebServerResponse = urllib.urlopen(Url).read()
Exit:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"><html>
<body>
<h2>Directory listing for /home/user/</h2>
<hr>
<ul>
<li><a href="Descargas/">Descargas/</a>
<li><a href="Documentos/">Documentos/</a>
<li><a href="Escritorio/">Escritorio/</a>
<li><a href="Im%C3%A1genes/">Imágenes/</a>
<li><a href="Matrix.txt">Matrix.txt</a>
<li><a href="M%C3%BAsica/">Música/</a>
<li><a href="Plantillas/">Plantillas/</a>
<li><a href="P%C3%BAblico/">Público/</a>
<li><a href="V%C3%ADdeos/">Vídeos/</a>
</ul>
<hr>
</body>
As you can see for the folder: Videos this has value V% C3% ADdeos
By running URLReturn = urllib.urlopen (RemoteDevice) .read () and then executing the urllib.unquote (URLReturn) function it manages to give the correct value to each character ... The problem is that if I want to split the result into pieces with the split ('\ n') method it is re-encoded but this time it replaces the characters with others.
For example:
'href="V\xc3\xaddeos/">V\xc3\xaddeos/</a>'
Locale: es_PR.UTF-8
What should I do to change this behavior?
Edit: This is the server part

Edit 2: System information

Edit 3:
HTTP Client
import urllib
WebServerResponse = urllib.urlopen(RemoteFile).read()
So far everything is going more or less well. This is the output of the html that I showed above.
So if I use WebServer.split() then it is translated to 'href="V%C3%ADdeos/">V\xc3\xaddeos/</a>'
But if I execute urllib.unquote(WebServerResponse).split() then the output 'href="V\xc3\xaddeos/">V\xc3\xaddeos/</a>'
