Permalink with accents : inconsistency between dev and build

Let’s say I have a permalink with an accent, for exemple /salamèche. In dev mode, when I try to access the page, I get a Not Found page. When I build, I get the correct path salamèche in my public folder and I can access the page as expected.

I tried to wrap my permalink with encodeURI function. It work now in dev mode, when I build, it create the folder salam%C3%A8che but I can’t access this page (with sirv-cli), either with /salamèche or /salam%C3%A8che.

Elderjs: 1.2.4
Svelte: 3.29.0

I had more time to try it out, and it works indeed ! Just to recap if someone need it right now, this is the way to go:

• add polka/url@next to your project: yarn add polka/url@next

• add the parser to your config in src/server.js:

const parser = require('@polka/url');
server.parse = (req) => parser(req, true);

Just to confirm – that should be the fix since Polka is setting req.path which sirv then respects & uses, preventing its own decode.

Your directory name should contain the special characters. It worked in dev because your filesystem also contained the special characters, but the in-memory FILES cache of sirv possessed keys like /salamèche, but the req.path was sending the still-encoded /salam%C3%A8che form.
