## page was renamed from MoinMoinBugs/PngImageUploadGivesUnicodeError
= Description =

When I try to attach a png image (not tested with other formats), I get a Unicode error.
The bug ist probably related to my configuration, as a test shows that one image that exposes the bug on my server works here.

== Steps to reproduce ==
## Describe the steps needed to reproduce the bug. If we can't reproduce it, we  probably can't fix it.
 1. Use the pseudo {{{inline:}}} scheme
 2. In the upload dialog, select a PNG image and hit "Upload".

== Example ==
##Add URL that show the bug, screenshot or test wiki markup that fail...

{{attachment:testimage.png}}

##URL: 

##attachment:screenshot.png

##{{{
##Example wiki markup that fail
##}}}
{{{inline:testimage.png}}}

== Details ==

## If you got a traceback, please save the traceback page as html and attach here:
[[attachment:traceback.html]]

## if the bug is in this wiki, just kill the table and write: This Wiki.

Possibly interesting detail: if I don't enable locales in site.py, I can't get mod_py to work.  I.e. my {{site.py}}} looks like this (around line 340):
{{{#!python
encoding = "ascii" # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()

if 1:
# ^^^^ changed from 0 (default) to 1
    # Enable to support locale aware default string encodings.
    import locale
    loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
    if loc[1]:
        encoding = loc[1]
}}}

Result:
{{{#!python
>>> print site.encoding
cp1252
}}}

## How to deal with the bug until it is fixed


= Discussion =

Please try again with the patch from MoinMoinBugs/AttachmentsDontWork and report whether it fixed this one, too.

Thanks for the tip - but unfortunately the patch doesn't help.  (I had to transfer my wiki from a 2.4 installation back to a 2.3.5 install, and the error popped right back up.  Moin is now at 1.5.2 (installed), which has the patch installed.

Does it work if you use instead of `inline` the `attachment` scheme? -- ReimarBauer <<DateTime(2006-03-20T21:06:13Z)>>

No, it doesn't - same error. Another hint: I tried using CGI instead of mod_python (because the patch only affects RequestCGI and doesn't do anything for mod_python).  There, it works (but preformance does drop noticeably, too...) -- 2006-03-22, Ueli

Try the attached patch: [[attachment:fix_upload_attach.patch]] -- NickPhillips
 * this patch has been put into 1.5 branch a while ago. -- ThomasWaldmann <<DateTime(2006-08-16T07:21:09Z)>>

Oops, wrong bug. This one looks like it is the same bug as MoinMoinBugs/ModPyDoesNotAcceptFileUpload.
