84029 - http uploads send file as complete path, it should be just filename

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 44464

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

Description

[mattyt]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19 i586; Nav)
BuildID:    2001060115

When I am composing a new message or replying to an existing one, I click the
browse button to find the file I want to attach, double-click the file, then
click Attach.  The file shows up with the complete path as opposed to simply the
name of the file itself.  For instance, it is attached and sent as
/home/mattyt/foobar.jpg instead of simply foobar.jpg.  The recipient is unable
to open the file they receive.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to my IMP webmail system 
2. Compose new message
3. Click the attach button
4. Double-click the file I want to attach
5. Click Attach
6. Click Send
7. The file cannot be opened by the recipient

Actual Results:  The file is not usable by the recipient

Expected Results:  Should have sent the file as 'foobar.jpg' instead of
'/home/mattyt/foobar.jpg'

it's a code bug. when most browsers send a file as part of an upload, they send 
the filename, when we send the full path. it should be really easy to fix. I'd 
say bug 85577's location is probably easier to use

Is this a Linux only problem?  Both Nav 4.75 and IE 5.5 on Win32 send the full
file path, so we are compatible there.

Would it be possible for you to attach a URL and temporary account info where I
can test the "IMP" webmail system?  Thanks.

FWIW, I think bug 85577 is really a dup of bug 83065, which is why I removed the
URL above, and changed what it was marked a dup of.  See reasoning on that bug.

This will be fixed with the patch on bug 44464.  Marking dup.
