User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 When using the file upload control, such as with attaching a file to Yahoo Mail, if the file name is greater than the requisite 31 characters it sends data the website can't understand. If you shorten the filename, it submits fine. Checked it out in Internet Explorer for the Mac. IE abridges the name automatically and it submits fine that way too. Seems possibly related to bug #151021. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file like 123456789012345678901234567890.rtf 2. Visit a site with file upload, like https://mail.yahoo.com 3. With Yahoo, compose and email attach the rtf file. 4. Submit form. Yahoo will display an error page. 5. Shorten filename to 123456789012345678901234567.rtf, browse to file again, and resubmit form. Success. Actual Results: Submitted data the website could not understand Expected Results: Truncated, or alterted the filename (uniquely) to allow proper submission.
Pete, does it also happen using FizzillaMach or Chimera?
