819950 - File names get corrupted when using Filelink with some providers

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: FileLink, defect)

Description

[C553]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1271.95 Safari/537.11

Steps to reproduce:

Upload an attachment to the cloud using Filelink and serval providers.


Actual results:

When uploading a file with a strange file name, for example "à_É_Ç_ú_ç_Ñ.rar" some providers corrupt the file name.

when uploading via:
...dropbox (Dropbox for Filelink v1.0.1):
everything is ok.

...box.com:
file name converts to "%C3%A0%20%C3%89%20%C3%87%20%C3%83%C2%BA%20%C3%A7%20%C3%91.rar"

...fileswap:
everything is ok.

...yousendit:
same as box.com



Expected results:

File names shouldn't change.

This is not a bug in Thunderbird. Either the BOX add-on does a conversion, because the BOX API does not allow these characters, or the filename is converted on the BOX side after it has been transmitted.
