Problems with Twisted Web & non-standard file names...

Folks,

I am in the process of writing, a "gallery" style web server application using twisted....

The main goal is to be able to browse, and access my image library, without having to add the files to a database, etc....

The issue I am having is with the URL processing....

Standard ASCII, and non-extended characters are working fine....  And I've tried using urllib.quote & urllib.quoteplus (along with unquote), to solve this problem....  

But an URL with a dash (-) or number sign (#), or non-ASCII (eg 2012.7.1-撮影会-  de die in diem) prevents it working...

The DASH or number sign will generally produce a 500 internal server error, non-ascii, will allow me to transverse to the directory, but the server fails to properly decode the URL, and none of the images work.....

What happens is....

Server side - 

The Server decodes the request string, and transverse to the directory structure in the URL.  For example, http://127.0.0.1:8888/albums/Television/B5/ would transverse into the albums / Television / B5 directory....  And http://127.0.0.1:8888/albums/Television/B5/ADVDEST.JPG?slideshow=1 would show the ADVDEST.JPG that is stored in the directory...

The issue I am having is that the POST request string is stopping at a single quote mark...

pre -  ['albums']
post -  ['anime', '(C54) [RPG']
RS /albums/anime/(C54) [RPG
/Volumes/DVR Storage/MMAP/gallery/sites
['albums']
POST ['anime', '(C54) [RPG']
ARGS {}

The directory name is (c54) [rpg' company (toumi haruka)] wedding bell (ah my goddess) [english][saha].

Any one have any suggestions on how to solve this?  As I mentioned URLlib.quote_plus / unquote_plus don't seem to make a difference....

The one idea I had, was to send the web server an index, but that would be a pain, since you would not be able to type in the directory, as a shortcut...  You would only be able to transverse via the web GUI....
