zip files cannot be uploaded to a release

[Ralf Hersel]

Uploading a zip file to a release results in this error: (Error ID: OOPS-1116H1419 ValueError: Invalid boundary in multipart form: '')
This happends regardless of the 'description' and 'file content type' and it is reproducable.
The error occurs in my project 'hivegame' in series 'trunk', release '0.56'.

Can you provide the zip file you're trying to upload somewhere else so I can try to reproduce this locally? Thanks

[Ralf Hersel (ralf.hersel)]

Yes, go to my project ( https://launchpad.net/hivegame/+download ) and take the file 'Hive.0.56.zap'. Rename it to 'Hive.0.56.zip'. That's it.

I couldn't reproduce using the given file. I successfully uploaded the renamed file to our staging server. See screenshot.

Can you give more information to reproduce this issue? Thanks

I tried it again from my Linux PC and it works. Last time it was from a WinXP PC. I don't know why it works now. The only difference that I see is the operating system. I will try it again tomorrow from my Windows PC.

I confirm that uploading this file 'Hive.0.56.zip' from a WindowsXP PC does not work. It results in error:
(Error ID: OOPS-1118E554)

Hi Ralf,

I tried to reproduce on a WindowsXP machine with Firefox and could not. Could you try to upload using a new firefox profile?
(instruction how to create a new profile can be found in: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows)

Thanks
