Description lars 2002-11-28 15:09:20 UTC 
eg. filenames with & which are forbidden on UNIX systems
Comment 1 utomo99 2003-09-20 04:17:12 UTC 
do you know how to prevent it at issuzilla ? 

I think the easiest solution is you rename it when downloading it 

can we close this ?
Comment 2 lars 2003-09-20 11:44:02 UTC 
see issue 19831 :  try to download its attached file : not possible
because of "&"

this problem still persists
Comment 3 utomo99 2003-09-25 04:39:09 UTC 
OK, now I understand that we cannot download the file which containing
illegal character, such as &

example from issue
