Hi,
While downloading urls, context santizes the filename but does not check
the length of the url. So, one can end up with a situation where the
filename is too long for the operating system to handle. For example, the
following fails on 32bit linux.
\enabletrackers[resolvers.schemes]
\startluacode
local report_webfilter = logs.new("thirddata.webfilter")
local url =
"http://www.bing.com/search?q=AreallyreallylongstringjusttoseehowthingsworkordontworkAreallyreallylongstringjusttoseehowthingsworkordontworkAreallyreallylongstringjusttoseehowthingsworkordontworkAreallyreallylongstringjusttoseehowthingsworkordontworAreallyreallylongstringjusttoseehowthingsworkordontworkkAreallyreallylongstringjusttoseehowthingsworkordontwork";
local specification = resolvers.splitmethod(url)
local file = resolvers.finders['http'](specification) or ""
if file and file ~= "" then
report_webfilter("saving file %s", file)
else
report_webfilter("download failed")
end
\stopluacode
\normalend
Is there a robust way to avoid this problem? One possibility is that in
data-sch.lua instead of
local cleanname = gsub(original,"[^%a%d%.]+","-")
use
local cleanname = md5sum(original)
What do you think?
