Hi Mike,

1. If you recompile libssh 0.6.3 with Unicode support and provide me with a download link,
I will happily test it on all Windows platforms (namely Windows 8, 7, and XP).

2. I agree.

-George

Hi Mike#1 and George,

1. What do you think of using toUtf8() instead? I am hoping that will fix the bug regardless of the locale.

I tried changing it to that (bug566.utf8.test.patch), but it still did not fix this bug with the greek username on my system with the locale set to English. It did not introduce a regression for my ASCII user account at least.

If libssh needs to be recompiled for Unicode, I can do that. I just recompiled it for bug #590.

FYI: This is the API we are calling:
http://api.libssh.org/stable/group__libssh__session.html#ga7a801b85800baa3f4e16f5b47db0a73d

2. in sshmasterconnection.cpp, we also set "SSH_OPTIONS_USER" . I think that we should also change its value from to.Ascii() to
toLocal8Bit() or toUtf8(). bug566.test.v2.patch has this change for toLocal8Bit(), and bug566.utf8.test.patch has it for toUtf8().

-Mike#2
