Web API not supporting Swedish character filename

Hi All,

In Web API, when Appian receives file in binary format, we are using Appian-Document-Name field in the header to pass file name. And it is working fine when for English characters but when comes to Swedish file names it gives random some values in the file name. 

For Example, Expected file name ÖPPNA.pdf, actual output cames ?PPNA.pdf

Now I understood, you are referring to Appian-Document-Name header where we are passing file name it should to be encode with UTF-8 then Appian will detect properly. Am I correct?

You can pass any header you want, but as long as the actual character encoding is not correct, any special characters will get messed up.
