270429 - Fully qualified name of uploaded file

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 59408

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Andrea Migliaccio]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When firefox upload a file using the HTML tag <input type="file"> doesn't send
the fully qualified name (on the client) of the upload file.

In ASP.NET the property htmlInputFileObject.PostedFile.FileName should return
the fully qualified name but return only the File name.

The same property return the FQN if the file is uploaded with Internet Explorer.

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature :-)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a simple Webapplication in ASP.NET the receive a file upload
2. Use the PostedFile.FileName property for retreive the fully qualified name of
the file and print somewhere.
3. Reproduce the step 2 with Internet Explorer

Actual Results:  
The file name from Firefox-uploaded file is the simple file name
The file name from IE-uploaded file is the fully qualified name (as confirmed
from ASP.NET HttpPostedFile Class documentation)

Expected Results:  
The file name from Firefox-uploaded file should be the fully qualified name
