• oxp: does not like long filenames?

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to Martin Foster on Fri Apr 19 18:16:00 2019
    I discovered that oxp does not behave very well with file attaches that
    bear long filenames.

    The original filename was:

    "netmail ending up in apoint areafix folder.jpg"

    I started the netcall, and it stalled/froze the program as per above.

    Now I know - I should probably stick with 8.3 filenames only?

    I've just sent you a file with a filename of 30 characters and it
    seemed to get sent without problems. However, I notice that your
    filename is *very* long, perhaps OpenXP has a limit on filename
    length? I'll ask the developer.

    Regards,

    Did not work. Did not receive that one.

    MEANWHILE, I think I found a bug. I tested a FA with a short filename
    that contained spaces:

    ..and the crash call to your boss node locked up, and the logs do not show that file in the transaction ..only the message packet with a short
    message to you went out.

    The problem seems to be the spaces in the filename? ..and there is a
    certain length limit because I do not get the longname file you tried to send.
