I'm uploading directly to S3 with FOG and a file has some special characters..

But when i try to

FOG_STORAGE.directories.get(AWS_BUCKET_TEMP).files.get(file_name)

it doesnt get the file =I

I debugged and found that:

file_name == "uploads/9d3229932694e3e71ffec98b4d7e9dd2/sóftwáred[efdv.txt" 
 => false

But when i print file_name, it gives me the exactly same string

uploads/9d3229932694e3e71ffec98b4d7e9dd2/sóftwáred[efdv.txt

How is that possible?

try printing the class name of both object and see if they are both strings – lulalala Aug 22 '13 at 02:12
file_name.include?("uploads/9d3229932694e3e71ffec98b4d7e9dd2/s") returns true.. it seems that the problem is with the "éá" characters.. – felipepastorelima Aug 22 '13 at 02:39
lulalala, both are String – felipepastorelima Aug 22 '13 at 02:40

Encoding issues perhaps? – mu is too short Aug 22 '13 at 03:29
@fpastore What version of Ruby are you using? – Paulo Fidalgo Aug 22 '13 at 09:21
ruby 1.9.3p286 (2012-10-12 revision 37165) [x86_64-darwin11.4.2] – felipepastorelima Aug 22 '13 at 12:03
@muistooshort , im using better_errors to debug, but it seems to be the same encoding: file_name.encoding => # and "uploads/9d3229932694e3e71ffec98b4d7e9dd2/sóftwáred[efdv.txt" => # – felipepastorelima Aug 22 '13 at 12:08
Do they have the same length? Have you tried comparing them character-by-character to see where the difference lies? – mu is too short Aug 22 '13 at 17:50
