"CppunitTest_stoc_uriproc failed on Windows" reports that
translateToExternal("file:///abc/%feef") produces an empty string (indicating
failure) instead of "file:///abc/%FEef" (as expected in
stoc/test/uriproc/test_uriproc.cxx) when osl_getThreadTextEncoding() is Shift
JIS.
This was due to how the call to rtl::Uri::encode in
Translator::translateToExternal (in
stoc/source/uriproc/ExternalUriReferenceTranslator.cxx) behaved: It internally
interpreted its input "%FE" as the single-byte Shift JIS character 0xFE. Which
gets mapped to U+2122 as an extension (see "APPLE additions over SJIS, we
convert this like Apple, because I think, this gives better result, then [sic]
we take a replacement char" in sal/textenc/tcvtjp6.tab) in readUcs4, but which
in turn doesn't get mapped back to any Shift JIS character in writeEscapeChar.
Translator::translateToExternal is the only user of
rtl_UriEncodeStrictKeepEscapes, as introduced by
6ff5d3341d "INTEGRATION: CWS c07v013_SRC680
(1.4.40); FILE MERGED: 2007/06/21 13:00:56 sb 1.4.40.1: #b6550116# Made
XExternalUriReferenceTranslator.translateToExternal more robust when the input
URL contains spurious non--UTF-8 octets like %FE (which are now copied verbatim,
instead of signalling error)."
To make the claim true that such "spurious non--UTF-8 octets like %FE" are
always "copied verbatim", regardless of text encoding being used, repurpose
rtl_UriEncodeStrictKeepEscapes to always treat any escape sequences that are
present as (potentially broken) UTF-8.
