Create folder / upload files with cURL POST and special characters

sistemi

Hi, I am trying to create a folder on Alfresco 6.2 using cURL and POST: everything works normally, except if the folder that I am trying to create contains some special characters (e.g. è ì à ù) in the name: these characters are not correctly interpreted and the folder is created with wrong name:

curl -X POST http://localhost/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser/root/Sites/share/documentLibrary/files -H 'authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXX' -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data' -F cmisaction=createFolder -F 'propertyId[0]=cmis:objectTypeId' -F 'propertyValue[0]=cmis:folder' -F 'propertyId[1]=cmis:name' -F "propertyValue[1]=L'AGO...rùèàì" -F succinct=true

The resulting folder name in Alfresco is:

"L'AGO...rÃ¹Ã¨Ã Ã¬"

Is there a way to have these characters correctly interpreted?

Try to specify utf-8 charset in the content-type header:

-H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; charset="utf-8"'

Hi, thanks for your answer, I tried but the resulting folder is the same.

Here is my request from command line:

root@test:# curl -X POST http://localhost/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser/root/Sites/shareA/documentLibrary/fileTest -H 'authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; charset="utf-8"' -F cmisaction=createFolder -F 'propertyId[0]=cmis:objectTypeId' -F 'propertyValue[0]=cmis:folder' -F 'propertyId[1]=cmis:name' -F "propertyValue[1]=L'AGO...ràaèeiìoòuù" -F succinct=true

And here is Alfresco Answer, folder name contains wrong characters:

{"succinctProperties":{"cmis:objectId":"cba5f4ca-f6aa-4d00-b73b-755f0079ed66","alfcmis:nodeRef":"workspace:\/\/SpacesStore\/cba5f4ca-f6aa-4d00-b73b-755f0079ed66","cmis:path":"\/Sites\/shareA\/documentLibrary\/fileTest\/L'AGO...rÃ aÃ¨eiÃ¬oÃ²uÃ¹","cmis:allowedChildObjectTypeIds":null,"cmis:lastModifiedBy":"admin","cmis:secondaryObjectTypeIds":["P:sys:localized"],"cmis:objectTypeId":"cmis:folder","cmis:description":null,"cmis:createdBy":"admin","cmis:baseTypeId":"cmis:folder","cmis:parentId":"532a7175-0851-45db-843a-b2bf111f0b75","cmis:creationDate":1615815273567,"cmis:changeToken":null,"cmis:name":"L'AGO...rÃ aÃ¨eiÃ¬oÃ²uÃ¹","cmis:lastModificationDate":1615815273567},"propertiesExtension":{"aspects":{"appliedAspects":"P:sys:localized"}}}

And browsing folder from Alfresco share confirms that the name is wrong:

What is the output of these two commands (possibly your console is not using utf-8)?
