88040 - Can not attach binary files to bugs under Win2K

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 62000

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Matt Fleming]

When creating an attachment to a binary file, it does not work, I am always 
asked for the description.  

Text files work, but when a binary file is selected it looks like the $::FORM
('data') field is filled out and the $::FILENAME('data') is filled out, but the 
$::FORM('description') is always empty, causing the add to fail.  

I was able to get around this by adding a default description if the 
description was not given.

After doing so I tested the storage of the image in the database and had 
problems with that.  The data is the converted into a string and stuffed into a 
field of type longblob, but it looks like some things are missing when you do 
that, because the data that you retrieve is corrupted.  I tested this with both 
word and gif files, and got the same results.

I am running MYSQL version 3.23.27 for windows.

Is the problem that you're running bugzilla on Win2K?  If it is, I think there
some binmode() magic that has to be done that isn't required on Unix based systems

I added 
binmode( STDOUT );
binmode( STDIN );

before the require "CGI.pl"; line and everything worked!!

moving all closed Bugzilla bugs to the new Bugzilla product.
This batch is DUPLICATE/INVALID/WORKSFORME/WONTFIX
reassigning to default owner and QA in case of the bug being reopened.
Clearing milestones, since we really shouldn't have them on these types of
resolutions.  Sorry for the spam everyone...
