Greetings,
I am (still) using 1.76.5, running under Ubuntu 7.10.
During file upload (whether from a form or as part of a cron job that
extract files attached to emails) I am finding that some long filenames
are causing the store() function to choke:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "applications/webacc2/cron/hlpcheck2.py", line 881, in <module>

File "/home/rowdy/web2py/gluon/sql.py", line 2645, in store
dest_file = open(pathfilename, 'wb')
IOError: [Errno 36] File name too long:
'applications/webacc2/uploads/371041/attachment.file.8933d60f0092f7d3.696e667261456e74657270726973652045787465726e616c2043616c6c20526571756972696e6720416374696f6e203131373238392020204442202020496e66726150726f642020203130333735202020696d62616c616e6365206265747765656e2027524527262755502720474c205472616e73616374696f6e7320616e642072656365697074732e656d6c.eml'
I have no control over the filenames submitted by the users, and this is
an operating system limit (i.e. I cannot touch the file to create it -
same error).
Is there a best practice for dealing with this?
The original filename is 141 characters in length which is well within
OS limits, but encoded and expanded by web2py comes out at 319
characters.
I suppose the users do not really need to see such long filenames when
downloading the files later on, so I could probably truncate the
original filename (and rename the original file) before inserting it
into the database.
Any other ideas?
Thanx
Rowdy
