Problems with rewrite on windows

[halfd]

Hi again everyone,

I'm still having great difficulties getting this to work.

(clean urls by having folders with index.html files in them generated by backend) 
As of now, nginx doesn´t find an index.html file in a folder, if the foldername contains non ascii chars.

Igor said this was due to a bug in nginx on windows, which I can confirm, since this setup works on linux and os x.

A sollution :

> Well, then you need
> 
>  location / {
>    root   c:/webroot/SITE/site/www/;
>    try_files $uri $uri/index.html =404;
>  }

Unfortunately this does not work, but does give me an 404.

The thing is, there is a file at the path, but nginx is not finding it due to a non-ascii character in the url.
Weird thing, because it works when accessing the file directly.

ie. 

/something/ørne/index.html = works
/something/ørne/ = does not work

Also urls with only ascii chars work in both cases

/something/else/index.html = works
/something/else/ = works

This seems to be an error in nginx for windows, so maybe the solution is to beg my client to install linux on their server instead :) ... unfortunately this seems further fetched than getting nginx to function.

Anybody got some insight?
