Is there some way to implement the function of mod_encoding in Apache httpd?

How can I map the uri to local file path between different charset?

Such as, the uri is encode with UTF-8 but my local file system charset
is GBK or EUCKR or EUCJP.

So, the “404 not found” will happen cause the path name can’t matched.

Why not unify your local file name encoding to UTF-8?

Here’s an example for utf-8 → euc-kr:

location / {
set_iconv $new_uri $uri from=utf8 to=euc-kr;
if ($uri = $new_uri) {
break;
}
rewrite ^ $new_uri;
}

This should work out of the box if you have compiled the ngx_iconv
module into your nginx server:

https://github.com/calio/iconv-nginx-module

It’s not the most efficient though because set_iconv will always be
called twice. Here’s a modified but slightly complicated way:

location / {
}

location ~ ‘^/euc-kr(/.+)’ {
set $path $1;
set_iconv $new_path $path from=utf8 to=euc-kr;
rewrite ^ $path;
}

But now it requires you to invoke /enc-kr/foo/bar.html instead of the
original /foo/bar.html.

If you want the file content sent to the content to be converted to
UTF-8, you can use the iconv_filter directive provided by the
ngx_iconv module.

Hope this helps,
