[mosh-devel] mosh bug without UTF-8

[Thomas Nachname]

Hello, together
Is the any chance, that you will fix this bug with the error message "mosh-client needs a UTF-8 native locale to run."?

All Unix like systems I know and use since over 30 years are always set to POSIX / C!
And all of them simply do not work with mosh, which is a massive shame.

mosh needs to work with normal Unix systems, where LANG is unset and LC_ALL is set to C or POSIX, or unset too.
No sane systems uses UTF-8 ... this may change for some Applications, that are running, but not for regular remote session. Such settings are only ever required for certain applications! Never for a remote connection...

Cannot be SUCH hard, or?

P.S. And no, ssh or telnet or rlogin or rsh never ever had a problem with this configuration, not on one system based on IRIX, HP-UX, True64, SunOS, Solaris, AIX or Linux from most different vendors.
