Unicode error about django-sendfile HOT 7 CLOSED

Hmmm. Well it appears that the trouble is that Django is trying to convert the filename to ascii.

Looks like I probably just need to url encode the file name, before setting in the the header:

Will hopefully get round to this later - unless you fancy submitting a pull request?

Ok, I'm trying it, if it works, I submit a pull request.

Hoped it was that simple.

  File "/home/gunicorn/prod/ama/venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sendfile/__init__.py", line 59, in sendfile
    response = _sendfile(request, filename.encode('utf-8'), mimetype=mimetype)

  File "/home/gunicorn/prod/ama/venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sendfile/backends/nginx.py", line 7, in sendfile
    response['X-Accel-Redirect'] = _convert_file_to_url(filename)

  File "/home/gunicorn/prod/ama/venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sendfile/backends/_internalredirect.py", line 13, in _convert_file_to_url
    return u'/'.join(url)

(the worse part is that those accentuated characters used to be in extended ASCII)

Ok do you want to give that a go? I've added some tests to check for unicode characters and encode them properly to master.

It's great, I tested it in my use-case, it works.

Thanks a lot.

Ok good. It's also on PyPI now, so should be pip installable.
