We are running DSpace 5.5 (XMLUI with modified MIrage 2 theme). I received an email today from someone on our campus that is running a link checker. They got the following error when trying to download one of our DSpace PDFs: "invalid 301 Location: header"
The URL that they used was: curl -v https://ecommons.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/2094/1/Stanton%20Agr%20Econ%20History%20online.pdf The PDF in question had spaces which was causing the error. We have always urged our users not to put spaces or special characters in the filenames that they upload, because we know that this causes some problems with certain browsers, but this was the first time that someone told us that these filenames were causing errors with link checkers. The person who contacted me believes this is a bug in DSpace, but I'm not so sure. I think this is pretty much how things have been since DSpace1.0. Should this be considered a bug? Does anyone know of a way to force users to submit filenames without spaces or special characters? -- *************************** George Kozak Digital Library Specialist Cornell University Library - IT 218 Olin Library Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 607-255-8924 [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
