Can't Read Arabic file names

[AhmadSawalhah]

@chrismattmann
problem in reading files if its name is Arabic
try this file name ( احمد.docx) , it give me this error

File "C:\Python34\lib\http\client.py", line 1109, in putheader values[i] = one_value.encode('latin-1') UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 21-27: ordinal not in range(256)
when I just change the name to english, it works fine
thanks

I'll check it out @AhmadSawalhah but it may have to come in 1.15

in your program can you force the encoding before calling Tika?

closing this as there is a current work-around. Just convert file name to English, then run. If you can answer my questions in the future feel free to open a new issue and cite this.
