• Hi,

    My webserver has kind of a weird behavior regarding binary files with accented characters in it (I know it’s not good practice, but my client didn’t know about that).

    Apache has AddDefaultCharset set to utf-8
    ascii files with accented characters are working fine when you access it from a browser.
    binary files with accented characters on the contrary, have this weird behavior in 2 part :
    If uploaded from within WordPress admin, they work fine and can be requested
    If uploaded from FTP, they return a 404 error when you request them

    I tried to modify owner and permissions on the files to see if it was coming from there, but it didn’t change anything.

    Here are 2 identic images as an example, the first uploaded from WP, the other from FTP

    As anyone encountered this before ?
