509520 - file_too_large error should mention the "Big File" option if applicable

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Attachments & Requests, defect)

Description

[Nahor]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: 3.2.4

When the "Big File" parameter is enable and the user submit a bug without checking the box, the error message should mention the option instead of just saying to submit a URL.

If possible, it should mention it only if the file is less than maxlocalattachment

Reproducible: Always

While bug 490930 will indeed make this one irrelevant, this is not the same bug.

Also I got the impression from comments in bug 490930 and some other "Big File" related bugs that it may not be fixed any time soon. And in the meantime, the current message is misleading when "Big File" is enabled. Fixing it is trivial (at least wrt mentioning "Big File" if not testing the attachment size) so it would be a good fix while waiting for 490930.

Okay, well, then to be clearer: this is WONTFIX in favor of bug 490930. The solution is bug 490930, and only bug 490930.
