This one really surprised me. I have built a utility which saves WSDL files locally. Now a WSDL can reside in exotic locations such as "http://server/service/?q=wsdl" or "http://service/...[900 chars]..." which do not imply a natural candidate for the local file name (the latter also violated the 256 characters path limit). But I wouldn't want the utility to use opaque names such as "1.wsdl" either. So I use this code snippet to generate a meaningful name from a url, which is cool. Usually. The other day a user complained that the utility does not work with his wsdl which resides here:
Seems pretty straight forward. Until you do this:
this yields the below:
And if you try to rename a file directly from explorer you face:
But it all makes sense when you read the rules:
Applications that automatically save files from url's must take this into account. What's next? get this blog rss updates or register for mail updates!
