SID-00726: Uploaded attachments have an extra byte appended to file

Files attached to our jazz.net wiki are coming back corrupted, with an extra newline character added to the end. Many programs are tolerant of this extra byte, but some (like Java) are not.

When we attach ZIP files to a wiki page, an extra byte is appended to the file at the end: 0x0A

I was going to report a bug, but it wouldn't let me log in there.

Discussion and Answer

On bug report issue, the twiki.org bug tracker login works after one hour of registration on twiki.org.

...later: Ah, I see that in the mean time you filed TWikibug:Item6387.

Not sure what causes this issue. Time to study attachment code and debug.

The issue does not exist in latest version of TWiki -please try a new version. If you want to stick to the old version - please let me know (update the bug) -i can provide the patch.
