[squid-users] Convertion special symbols in file's names

[Георгий Китирисов]

Hi, guys. I use squid proxy to download files from aws s3 buckets. If
file's name contain special symbols (like +, %, ...) squid convert it
(probably) and bucket can't find the file. For uploading to bucket it
use java service without squid. How can I prevent url convertion in
squid config?

The characters you point out above are reserved for use as
sub-delimiters in URI / URL syntax.

You are not sure its Squid doing anything at all? check to be sure what
is actually happening before you go looking for solutions to your guessed.

Filenames are not URL, and vice versa.

Sending software is responsible for properly URI-encoding any file path
embedded into URI. Receiving software for decoding it out again.


Squid (and HTTP itself) knows nothing of any such concept of "file" -
there are only messages. Squid does however obey RFC 3986 and 7230
requirements for URL/URI handling.
