[Tilesathome] Tried weird password chars

[spaetz]

I just tried weird password chars in a stock t at h client. I set it to:

UploadPassword=*,-#,.a

and it worked just like that. I think I had the file authentication.conf saved utf-8 encoded, so that is what seems to be required for weird password chars to work.

t at h client authors, is there a way to check whether it's utf-8 or whether it's something else that needs converting? Perhaps rather than dying if the user has a weird char in his password, you could tell him to save his authentication.conf as utf-8 file if authentication really fails...

My perl encoding skills are even worse than the rest of my perl knowledge...
Thanks
