Bug #53703 [NEW]: Cannot upload patches with chars < chr(32)

From: Operating system: NA PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Website problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Cannot upload patches with chars < chr(32) Description: ------------ The "add-a-patch" system in the php.net bug tracker will check for mime-types after uploading a patch. When a file has some low ascii-characters, it will not be detected correctly as a plain text file. The upload will not success in that case. There are some files in the php sources that have these low ascii characters present so patches on those files cannot be uploaded correctly. Test script: --------------- The files: ext/standard/tests/strings/strip_tags_variation5.phpt ext/standard/tests/strings/strip_tags_variation8.phpt ext/standard/tests/strings/strip_tags_variation9.phpt have some low ascii characters: ^K and ^L. Because of this, linux' "file" command detect those files "incorrectly": jthijssen@debian-jth:~/php-src-5.3$ file ext/standard/tests/strings/strip_tags_variation5.phpt ext/standard/tests/strings/strip_tags_variation5.phpt: data jthijssen@debian-jth:~/php-src-5.3$ file ext/standard/tests/strings/strip_tags_variation4.phpt ext/standard/tests/strings/strip_tags_variation4.phpt: ASCII C program text Expected result: ---------------- The patch should be added to the bug Actual result: -------------- The bug database reports an incorrect filetype (detected: application/octet-stream) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53703&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53703&r=mysqlcfg
