Just rename the file as *.txt, and it will work. It even says so in the
descripton...

If some thing explicitly sends the wrong data it will never get parsed and we will needlessly let you think that you can submit this. What you can do is copy/paste the patch inline or provide an URL where the data can be read. Thanks, remko -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder ** remko@elvandar.org FreeBSD ** remko@FreeBSD.org /* Quis custodiet ipsos custodes */ State Changed From-To: open->closed This will not get resolved since the form only accepts text/* input and nothing different. Best is to paste the diff in the comment window or place it on a public place to obtain (or send it privatly to the interested committer). |
When you try to submit a patch file AND you are using FireFox THEN you get a 'bad file type' error message. This is caused by the following lines in the web page: <label for="PATCH">And/or patch file (100KB max)</label>: <input id="PATCH" type="FILE" name="patch" maxlength="102400" accept="text/*" /><br /> Firefox is a little too clever and determines that the MimeType is 'application/xxx' Sigh... which it is...
