I have got this error when loading ipfilter.dat

2006-05-03 07:25:31: Erreur: Failed to convert file contents to Unicode.
2006-05-03 07:25:31: Error loading file ipfilter.dat '/home/louis/.aMule/ipfilter.dat', can't open the file

I have translated back the messages to english

This happened for quite a few days

Still the same message, yet I changed the url, and refreshed in preferences. Any idea ?

Code: [Select]

Content looks normal, yet

[TimDzang]

The encoding of a file ipfilter.dat is not formally defined.
eMule assumes ISO-8859-1, however aMule uses UTF-8.

Code pages ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 coincide only for the first 127 symbols (ASCII).

Some lines correct in coding ISO, are forbidden in coding UTF-8. At reading a file ipfilter.dat, they cannot be converted in UTF-16 (an internal format).

Maybe, but as I have no way to change that, I consider it a bug.

This one works (There are no comments in it) but it's very short (3MB) and it's old stuff

http://www.emule-zenzone.com/modules/pbboard/files/ipfilter.dat

I get the error with thiese ones

http://emulepawcio.sourceforge.net/ipfilter.dat
http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/emulepawcio/ipfilter.dat

and with some other ones.

IPFilter.cpp

Code: [Select]

void LoadFromFile(const wxString& file)
{
  [skip]
  wxTextFile readFile(file);
  if (readFile.Open(wxConvISO8859_1)) {
  [skip]

I think it should help, but I did not check this.


PS. You can try ipfilter.dat from here (~11MB):http://openmedia.info
