I'm using SWT 3.x, on RH linux Enterprise 3.0 WS and my question is
this. If I pass the following local file path to the browser control

/root/web/index.html

it gets converted to

file:///root/web/index.html

and the page is displayed.

Now If say I'm doing this on a German language linux machine and I have
a folder with german exended characters like

/root/äöß/index.html

I get the following error:

The file /root/6.787185E-31640.0000006%DF/index.html cannot be found.
Please check the location and try again.

however, if I just modify the string to be

file:///root/äöß/index.html

Then everything is fine and the page is loaded,

any ideas why this is going on?
