I was browsing through the cfnetwork source today and i noticed that in
CFFTPCreateParsedResourceListing whenever it needs to create a cfstring
corresponding to one of the various textual bits of info in the line it is
parsing it uses the encoding kCFStringEncodingMacRoman. Is there any
particular rationale behind this?
Officially, FTP only supports ASCII.
I would have expected that UTF8 or ISO-latin-1 would have been better guesses.
I'd say - the Windows encoding matching user's primary language (cp1251 in
my case).
Is this just an oversight?
AFAIK, it's been reported many times, so it's probably not an oversight.
However, Windows users often name files and folders on FTP with non-ASCII
characters, and inability to access them via Finder is humiliating :(
