chinese draganddrop

[sav...@mozapps.org]

I am doing drag and drop using nsDropAndDrag.
When a chinese character is dropped it is in utf8 format %xx%xx%xx,jng
the code look like this

var url = transferUtils.retrieveURLFromData(data,data,
data.flavour.contentType);
nsDragAndDrop.dragDropSecurity( event,session,url);

var p = parseUri(url)
var aFile = Cc[local].......
aFile.initWithPath(p.path);

-----------------------------------------------
var url looks like 是.png
file:///home/user/Desktop/%E6%98%AF.png

when initWithPath is invoked it can not find that file.

How do I convert utf8 => nsURI or something like that

I suggest using the mozilla.dev.extensions newsgroup for this question.

If you have a file URI, you can turn it into a local file easily:

var uri = parseUri(url);
var file = uri.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIFileURL).file;
