168210 - Fizzilla CFM causes 0-byte HTTP uploads on files > 31 characters

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Bill McGonigle (not currently reading bugmail; please contact directly)]

This is caused by bug 142043 - long file name handling.  This bug is filed
separately so this functionality will be tested when the long filename handling
s fixed.

Marked critical since it causes a loss of data.

Setting target milestone 'Future' to match bug 142043, which this depends on.
(not 'cause I really think loss-of-data bugs should be Future).

To test this, just try uploading an attachment to bugzilla from a file with a
name > 31 characters.  Bugzilla will complain about a 0-byte upload if it
detects one.

Lowering priority, files dont usually have such long names.

Vladimir, this bug is a test case for its depends on - priority shouldn't matter
all that much.  You should go lower the priority on bug 142043 if you feel
strongly about it.

This is based on bug 142043, comment #9.

For what it's worth, I didn't buy the argument, "files dont usually have such
long names", so I wrote a test script to prove that they do.

Science being what it is, I found that, in fact, the statement is largely true.
 In my home directory, 0.5% of files are > 31 characters.   That said, that
percentage does represent 244 files, which I cannot upload with Mozilla.

I'll attach the script in case anybody else would like to provide contradictory
evidence.

Attachment: count_name_lengths.pl - generates count of file name lengths

Comment 8

[Vladimir Ermakov]

I didnt say this is not a bug, and that its not important, I said that this is
not a top priority bug, because this works 99.5% of the time, and there is an
easy workaround.

Vladimir, I was supporting your position. :)

Sorry for the spam. Fizzilla CFM build is dead; should this bug go with it?
