Note: I asked this question on StackOverflow, but I realize this might be a more proper place to ask this kind of question.
I'm trying to upload a file called 'Testaråäö.txt' via the Django admin app.
I'm running Django 1.3.1 with Gunicorn 0.13.4 and Nginx 0.7.6.7 on a Debian 6 server. Database is PostgreSQL 8.4.9. Other Unicode data is saved to the database with no problem, so I guess the problem must be with the filesystem somehow.
I've set
http {
charset utf-8;
}
in my nginx.conf. LC_ALL and LANG is set to 'sv_SE.UTF-8'. Running 'locale' verifies this. I even tried setting LC_ALL and LANG in my nginx init script just to make sure locale is set properly.
Here's the traceback:

I tried running Gunicorn with debugging turned on, and the file uploads without any problem at all. I suppose this must mean that the issue is with Nginx. Still beats me where to look, though. Here are the raw response headers from Gunicorn and Nginx, if it makes any sense:
Gunicorn:

UPDATE: Both locale.getpreferredencoding()
and sys.getfilesystemencoding()
outputs 'UTF-8'
. locale.getdefaultlocale()
outputs ('sv_SE', 'UTF8')
. This seem correct to me, so I'm still not sure why I keep getting these errors.
