Subject: bug: httpd: incorrect Unicode output of $INBOX_DIR/description
Date: Thu, 28 May 2020 17:12:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200528151216.l7vmnmrs4ojw372g@sourcephile.fr> (raw)

Description
-----------
public-inbox-httpd does not output $INBOX_DIR/description
using the expected Unicode code points.

Reproducing
-----------
$ cat /var/lib/public-inbox/inboxes/equipage/description
Équipage

$ file $(readlink -e description)
/nix/store/a7m2gqmj417dlqzjq1arizm7gxxrdqqm-description: UTF-8 Unicode text, with no line terminators

Is rendered by public-inbox-httpd as:
$ curl -s http://example.org/lists/archives/ | grep quipage'$'
&#195;&#137;quipage

My setup: public-inbox-1.5.0, or public-inbox-1.2.0, on NixOS.

Expecting
---------
$ curl -s http://example.org/lists/archives/ | grep quipage'$'
Êquipage

Or:
$ curl -s http://example.org/lists/archives/ | grep quipage'$'
&#201;quipage

Debugging
---------
This may be due to using: ascii_html($ibx->description);

Thanks a lot for developing public-inbox,
Julien.
