http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42940 Summary: Zip ExtraField header size is hard coded as 4 bytes Product: Ant Version: 1.7.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Optional Tasks AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] org.apache.tools.zip.ExtraFieldsUtils.parse hardcodes the ExtraField header size as 4 bytes. The spec ".ZIP File Format Specification" (currently 6.3.1 - 11/04/2007) states that compressed files "should" use a header size of 4 bytes. Tools such as "Beyond Compare" use an ExtraField header size of 2 bytes, in the First Local Header. Tools such as 7-Zip, WinZip, Total Commander and FilZip support this 2 byte format. The Apache Zip implementation does not and throws the exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: data starting at 0 is in unknown format at org.apache.tools.zip.ZipEntry.setExtra(ZipEntry.java:299) -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
